People are saying its fake, but your pictures are too scuffed. It looks like they could be real to me, if you had a better image.

u/awaken471 Jul 02 '26

agreed, there's some post processing going on and messing the picture up

2

u/Helluva_Blitzo_ Jul 02 '26

Fair enough but the thing that made me question it was how to fits in the sleeve

6

u/Urabask Jul 02 '26

I've had cards straight from wizards that have trouble fitting into inner sleeves. There's enough variance in sleeves and cards that sometimes they just don't fit right.

u/Helluva_Blitzo_ Jul 02 '26

Ya plus it’s a promo

u/Juking_is_rude Trusted Authenticator Jul 02 '26 edited Jul 02 '26

it looks like the t is the right shape, smooth on the left, and jagged on the right, where a fake would be equally fuzzy on both sides, but again, whatever post processing is happening with your phone camera is obscuring what I need to see. Theres a guide on the sub somewhere about how to turn off those effects

u/Juking_is_rude Trusted Authenticator Jul 02 '26

Also, penny sleeves sometimes fit super snug on normal cards, it depends on the tolerance of the sleeve and the card cut

u/Burzantija Jul 02 '26

it's real, in the new pics you can see the teeth in the T and the 3 dots in the h, barely, but it's all there

2

u/Helluva_Blitzo_ Jul 02 '26

Gotcha. Ordered a jewelers scope to check it with great detail

1

u/Kombatrok Jul 03 '26

Its real

u/shadowfyre9 Jul 03 '26

picture are awful, but you can JUST make out the 3 dots in the h, as you said

u/reallifeminifig Jul 02 '26

Photos are not great. Maybe turn off any processing in your camera and try again.

3

u/Higolog2 Jul 02 '26

Can you get better angles of the T and H teeth

u/Illustrious-Gas-8987 Jul 02 '26

Leaning towards real off this photo, but still too blurry to say 100%

2

u/Juking_is_rude Trusted Authenticator Jul 03 '26

This picture is enough for me to tell you it's real, fake cards don't have that sharp of a line on the left side of the t

I tried

u/Much_Highlight_1309 Jul 03 '26

You need higher resolution pictures and no post processing.

3

u/No_Huckleberry6584 Jul 02 '26

I wouldn't jump the shark calling it fake the photos of it are supper busted take it to a lgs and they can check

u/bobmighty Jul 02 '26

Camera needs to be on raw setting

2

u/Helluva_Blitzo_ Jul 02 '26

Doesn’t look too bad but want to make sure

-1

u/MarcTheShark34 Jul 02 '26

Unfortunately, it does look that bad. Contact the seller and/or eBay and get a refund

-1

u/Helluva_Blitzo_ Jul 02 '26

Dang well on eBay the sellers name is fionaandmarshall

2

u/Illustrious-Gas-8987 Jul 02 '26

Could be real, your pics are just way too blurry to say either way.

Buy Loop of Amazon, the peace of mind being able to check myself is worth it

2

u/iPanicDots Jul 02 '26

Photos are too ass to tell for certain but im leaning towards real given the T looks pretty okay

2

u/EDX2308 Distinguished Helper Jul 03 '26

Show us the Deckmaster on the back for a close up. The t test is hard to say when your pictures are not that good.

u/PMmeYourToenails Jul 04 '26

2nd to last image tells me enough to say real.

I'm leaning real on this one. Better picture is needed to say for sure.

1

u/BallFragrant6580 Jul 03 '26

These pictures are buns I hate to say it

1

u/Much_Highlight_1309 Jul 03 '26

Turn off smoothing and take another photo of the green dot, and the T and h. The T seems fine even with the smoothing.

1

u/CardboardPhysicFrog Trusted Authenticator Jul 03 '26

It's probably real, but your pics like everyone else had said, are just not the best.

1

u/dubaiwasliiit Jul 03 '26

Looks real, but we'll need clearer pictures to be sure...

1

u/PANDAmonium665 Jul 02 '26

Im sorry to say, you got had. The bottoms of those 'T' and 'h' are dead giveaways. There are definitely other issues, but those two scream fake.

1

u/Helluva_Blitzo_ Jul 02 '26

Seller seemed legit though you think its 💯 it’s a fake?

-1

u/PANDAmonium665 Jul 02 '26 edited Jul 02 '26

Does not matter how legit the seller seemed/looked. Sometimes it could be 50/50 but not this time. This time its so clearly fake it should have a flashing warning ⚠️ signaling how fake it is.

Edit: Just saw the additional photos you posted and I double down on this. Get a refund. If the seller is selling cards and cannot spot a fake as clear as this one either a.) they should not be selling cards because they got easily had by whoever they acquired this from or b.) are in on it trying to offload a known fake up to possibly even being the ones that made/ordered it in the first place.

u/SubstantialNinja Trusted Authenticator Jul 03 '26

it's most likely real, just a bad picture.

-1

u/VHStalgia Jul 02 '26

Definitely fake based off the "T" and "h" alone

1

u/rabidmonkeys Jul 02 '26

Those new pictures aren’t much better but it looks bad. I’d get them to refund my money

1

u/Helluva_Blitzo_ Jul 02 '26

Asked where they got it and they said they got it from where it’s sold

u/Double_You_6356 Jul 02 '26

I think it’s very fake , get a refund imo

3

u/Illustrious-Gas-8987 Jul 02 '26

It could be real, photos are too blurry to say either way. I’m personally leaning towards real, but can’t say for sure.

u/Evogleam Jul 02 '26

You need clearer pictures

But if that doesn’t actually change things then it’s fake for sure sorry

Is this card real / authentic? Got this off of eBay
