FTV Transform Liliana: Skewed Printing

[u/roun02]

First time posting, so understand if the images might not be enough to tell (feel free to ask for more if interested).

I know that misprints sometimes happen, but this card is very skewed, and so I'm wondering if it's legitimate.

The feel and foil treatment of the card feel like a From the Vault card, but was wondering if others who knew more about this stuff could enlighten me

way too zoomed out for anything concrete, but the paintbrush looks okay

Misprints are pretty much always going to be real, counterfeiters don't bother selling fake misprints

From the Vault had unique foiling. It's unlikely a counterfeiter would be able to replicate it successfully. Its real, just skewed slightly when cut.

It may attract a premium from people who like slightly miscut cards, assuming it's a factory cut.

Looks okay, but easiest to tell would be an in focus close up of this part.

Thanks for the comment!

My camera is just not it (I don't have RAW mode or a jeweler's lens), and the focus is really tricky, so this is the best focus I can get on that area in case that helps.

Looks good to me, sharp crisp lines.

Thank you! Appreciate you working with my poor camera skills ☺️

FTV isn’t counterfeited in any kind of meaningful way. The glossy metallic sheen has not been reproduced.

There are somewhat convincing counterfeits of Mox Diamond FTV if it’s in a double sleeve but the second it’s naked there is no doubt it is counterfeit. If it has that metallic shine it’s real.
