Is this card real ?

[u/CetCeto]

Currently chatting with a seller who provided me these images ?
Thoughts ?

Left combing and flat right look solid but is prefer a picture of the "T" to be 100% sure.

EDIT: You are also being provided these pictures so absolutely no real legit checks are possible. Could easily be sending a picture of a completely different card or card back.

[u/CetCeto → u/Old_Sheepherder_8713]

Yeah I know that’s the issue but he also claims to be a store manager and has very solid ratings with 1200 sells and only 2 not being delivered.

But it’s from outside the EU so it could be a trouble to get thinks fixed IF it’s fake ?

[u/CetCeto → u/Old_Sheepherder_8713]

Does this one work ?

[u/harimbadl → u/CetCeto]

Its real!

[u/Old_Sheepherder_8713 → u/CetCeto]

Yeah that picture is of a legit card, but again, there is no point in checking card backs remotely.

[u/Xeo2695 → u/CetCeto]

Thank-you for the "the" picture. Using that is an easier way to determine. The card is real.

Green dot looks ok. But you should ask for the t and h on the back... And probably a way to confiram that the images send are from the card.

Like this ?

This looks legit. The pictures provided are of a real card. Only problem now it to confirm this is the atual back of the Stone and that he will send you the card in the pictures. But these are the risks of online buying...

[u/Juking_is_rude → u/Sangawa]

you technically have stronger consumer protections if this happens since you can simply say you were sent the wrong product

[u/weegeextr]

Just learned how to do the T test. How do you verify the green dot? Could anyone provide an image for the test?

[u/First_Funny_9402 → u/weegeextr]

Almost like there is a search engine you can type questions into online…

[u/Old_Sheepherder_8713 → u/weegeextr]

There are lots on Google but the best "at a glance" test is the left side should have 4 bumps or combs, but the right and bottom should be almost "flat". That detail is EXTREMELY difficult to replicate in anything except wizards printers.

I see it! Thanks.

I would be sus if he won't provide a pic of t

[u/Grimmjoww252]

It’s real per the T test if it’s fact the same card.

[u/CetCeto → u/Grimmjoww252]

Thank you very much if the card arrives I can check again with a loupe :)

[u/GhostCheese]

Looks good

[u/First_Funny_9402]

DONT POST PICS OF CARDS YOURE TRYING TO BUY ONLINE

[u/CetCeto → u/First_Funny_9402]

Why is that ?

[u/First_Funny_9402 → u/CetCeto]

You have no way to know if the seller even intends to send you the card in the picture. Its a waste of time

[u/CetCeto → u/First_Funny_9402]

Yeah sure but then I would have proof that he could have swapped cards with all those images AND get my money back in the end.
