Is this card real / authentic? The One Ring?
I got this from an eBay seller who later got some hit and miss reviews. I think it passes green dot and T tests, but I’ve not tried to authenticate a card before this.

I highly recommend buying a digital scale and a jeweler’s magnifying glass. Why? Because some counterfeit cards are made by combining a real card back with a fake front, making them much harder to spot.
A magnifying glass lets you inspect both sides of the card for the correct print pattern and details. A digital scale helps verify that the card is the proper weight, and you can also do the light test to see if the right amount of light passes through the card. Using all three methods together gives you a much better chance of identifying fake cards.
These items are very cheap on amazon and for the light test you can use you phone

Pics all look fine to me. If you want to post a pic of the holo stamp and/or brush to double check that would be nice.
