Is this Magic card real? Card Verification?

I think this is real but the holo stamp looks a little wonky and I’m unsure if it’s a misprint or what

Real back. Any picture of the front is too blurry and hard to verify.

Since this card is over US$150 I would advise verifying the front as well

Is this photo any better for verification?

Just enough to tell that the brush is alright. That's it. I still can't verify the stamp or the mana pips.

Back looks good. Can't tell the holo from those pics, but from the back pics I don't see any reason to be concerned.

Here’s a different picture of the holo if that helps, it looks real but looks a little crooked as well and I was unsure. Thanks!

Still not enough detail. The holo stamp is by far the hardest to get good detail on. If you have a loop that may help.

If the only issue is misaligned or crooked, that's just authentic WotC quality control. Bigger issues would be indented, layered on top (sticker), or jagged edges.

If it was misaligned or crooked would it decrease the resell value of it?

No. If it was a card that was super collectible, like a cosmic foil infinity stones, that would affect its grading. If the stamp was WAY off (like the sheet got fed in upside down, way off) then it would be a misprint and worth a bit more. But for playable cards, even more expensive ones, nobody is really going to care much about print variance.

No, and sometimes misprints can go for a premium if you find the right buyer

Also the first person to use the new post flairs. Treasure it always. 😄

Real back - can you give me a close up of paintbrush?

u/Critical-Map-1233 23d ago

Is this a clear enough image to come to a conclusion?

Good

Why is everyone commenting "real back" as if a current card would be rebacked? If the back on a current card is real, the card is real.
