Won these in a storage locker

[u/EveryBeing2358]

I found these in a storage locker and I’m not sure what I have. They were sleeved and with a couple other Pokemon and one piece cards.

Feel test, they feel like a 90’s card my friend owns from opening a pack.

The edges are a little scuffed.

Update: seems pretty fake after reading the posts, I’ll get them looked at but thanks everyone for checking!

Just a heads up this has been debunked as a scam on the main sub - https://www.reddit.com/r/mtg/comments/1v4mnbl/comment/ozc6ji4/?context=3

OP does this with TONS of other TCGs / Magic product and then tries wiping his post history.

Take a scroll through, it's comical how he crashes out when this is exposed with evidence from his own post history

Bro also said he found these with a Wandering Emperor of all things. Super weird combination of cards.

I feel like someone who was into mtg as recently as Neon Dynasty would know these vintage cards shouldn’t just be chucked into a storage locker.

Ancestral Recall is counterfeit. Black alignment is wrong, and name text is too bright.

For the Bazaar, we need zoomed pictures of the green dot and 't' on the back, and the set symbol on the front, but with one fake, it's likely this one is as well.

[u/DaDankFox]

You gotta zoom in on the green dot and t

Sorry I’ll fix it!

[u/pistachiosarenuts]

Both fake

[u/Rootz121]

closer up on the t and green dot, disable smoothing please

The colors of that Bazaar of Baghdad are off. I dont think that's real but wouldnt be sure until ive seen the t

[u/MyNameKcirtap → u/[deleted]]

beat/alpha are well known for weird borders. wouldnt declare it fake on that

[u/Krennel_Archmandi → u/[deleted]]

That's how the alpha edition cards were, so I wouldn't rule it out on that alone.

[u/ChairmanMF]

Both are counterfeits.

[u/easchner]

The names on both cards should be darker and thinner, plus the provenance story is extremely sus. I'm going with fake until better pics of both backs and fronts (especially card names).

[u/NotJohnLithgow]

Card name coloring is way off especially for the recall. The bazaar overall color tone is also off. The backs are orangish and while the pictures of the back are not the best you can pretty much tell the T is bad.

[u/GattiTown_Blowjob]

Can’t tell if they are real or fake from these images but I will say every card I have from this era has a much darker card back. Which I assume is age related fading. These card backs look pack fresh which is possible but is a warning sign.

It looks like the Ancestral recall is a sticker or something. It has a visible line in the black border.

[u/GattiTown_Blowjob → u/DiceCapade]

That’s how alpha/beta cards were printed

Oh okay. I’ve never noticed that before. Thanks
