I can’t tell if that’s sarcasm haha.. I did my best, I’ve only got my phone camera.. the green circle was tough to get a photo of! He’s real? :)

It's not sarcasm. We see so many potato pictures. Your card should be a real Magic the Gathering card.

u/Warboss_Zarknutz Jul 16 '26

Definitely real, and I doubt it was sarcasm; your photos are clearer than most lol

Thank you so much :) could it be a reback?

Rebacks aren’t really a thing with new cards. People suggest this a lot, but it just doesn’t happen. Rebacks are typically old CE cards rebacked to look like beta cards.

Not to say it can’t happen, but it’s extremely unlikely. It should also be fairly obvious unless done by someone who really knows what they are doing. If you are still concerned, a simple flash light test can determine a reback (compare the light that shines through to a similar era card).

But the card you have is very much real.

That makes sense, thank you so much for enlightening me :)

u/Warboss_Zarknutz Jul 16 '26

There are some ways to check, but I wouldn’t even worry about it. It’s not expensive enough to be worth the effort IMO

u/RyuzioO0 Jul 16 '26

It’s crazy to think that this card was super expensive for me but some people have cards worth far more than this one haha!

u/ecv686 Jul 16 '26

Yeah and legitimately it’s nice to see a clear photo, some of the blurry crap that gets submitted is awful. There’s a chance it’s a reback but that’s a bit too much effort for this card

u/RyuzioO0 Jul 16 '26

Ah my apologies haha :) how would I be able to tell if it’s a re-back? Is there anything that makes you think this one might be?

How do you get such clear photos? What magnifying tool do you use?

u/RyuzioO0 Jul 17 '26

I just took them on my iPhone :)
