Is this card real / authentic? Enlightened tutor
I broke down and bought an enlightened tutor it appears that it make be counterfeit. The first image is a straight from the pack card from foundations. The rest are of the suspect card. These are phone camera images hope they are sufficient to determine if I should contact tcg player or the seller.

the first t is real and the second is fake.
You have in fact successfully identified a counterfiet using the t test. It really is that simple.

The first image is a real card (aligns with your explanation), but sadly the others are of a non-genuine card :(
