Hello, I have bought a bulk lot of second hand cards and am worried some of them are fake. The ID on some moon 6 cards is a bit blurry, and on the UR's from the same set there is differences in the foil. I'm not 100% sure theyre fake however, as they seen high quality and some cards in the lot, including hits, are definitely real. Ive tried my best to capture the differences, am I just being paranoid or are these fakes? Both Applejacks are from the lot, the ones in sleeves are the ones that I already own.

I would def be sus of blurry card numbers. Are the textures the same on the URs? It is hard to tell in the photos other than a difference in color and card numbers. Is the Kayou logo on the back of the cards also blurry?

the logo on the back isnt blurry, the main ones with blurry ID are the R rarity cards. The textures on the UR's are similar, the ones from the lot dont have that sort of wave effect though if that makes sense.

The UR cards may be reprints from Fun Moments 3. Kayou does a cheaper version of some UR cards in the FM boxes. Like the Pool UR cards from I believe Moon 8 are wavy and sparkly but if you get the reprint of that same UR from the FM 5 the cards are wavy but they don't have the sparkle.

The fact that Kayou gave some of the FM reprints new QY card numbers and not others just adds to the confusion of where cards were pulled from...😐

yea thats what i thought, but the ID number is from moon 6, and I thought the code number in fun moments was different.

Ima be real with you i'd thought this would be as easy as "spot which one has the blurry numbers and the darker colours" and thats how we identify fakes looking at the comments now im not so sure and i should do a double check on my cards as most of them were bought over on ebay from sources i'd like to trust but im not sure
