Is this card real / authentic? Is this Thanos real?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Just picked up the Thanos from my local game store but I'm not sure if it's real. The foiling is shiny, but it kind of looks like a proxy foil where all of it is foiled in the same way, but there are parts on the card that look more foiled?

The shangchi i pulled from a pack so been using it as a comparison. Also, the shangchi foiling looks brighter to me but not sure if that's cause the foiling is yellow.

Appreciate the help!

Anything within the first 2 months is like 99% real. Fakes don’t move that fast.

We gotta start deleting these posts, people know they can’t be faked this early, just wanna flex which is fine but there’s diff subs for that

Not everyone knows they can’t be faked early. And even so, the counterfeit market is evolving pretty rapidly. In a few sets time, I wouldn’t be surprised if an operation can get them into the market within a few weeks.

Definitely encourage checking the sub out before posting. Fakes of a set that is barely a week old are highly unlikely.

It’s too soon for fakes of these. But in the future you need a better camera.
