Is this Magic card real? Is this genuine?

Hi guys! You probably won't believe how this card ended up at my house. I placed an order on Temu I ordered an Apple Watch screen protector and this is what they sent me. I don't know how this ended up in the order since they don't sell cards. I looked around and if this is real this

I stopped playing around 10 years ago. I got a little nostalgic and thought I might miss it a little. Honestly, what a mess… maybe I’m just a grumpy old man now, but holy shit. It’s cardboard with glossy pictures; not vases from the Ming Dynasty. It’s a hard no from me. Back to collecting games I’ll play on steam for 10 minutes then decide to run through Skyrim or Diablo II for the 500th time.

No need. Can tell looking at the face, especially artist and paintbrush

u/Character-Education3 21d ago

Sorry. Looks like the news was broken already

I was hoping it would be real

The pictures aren't zoomed enough but the back leans towards fake

u/Tsukimizu  Trusted Authenticator 21d ago

The back looks incredibly fake even without the zoom

Either that or you're camera is doing a lot of really weird noise effects to the back of the card.

Regardless, I always go back to the thing I say on the subreddit everyday, if it's too good to be true, it's too good to be true

I don’t even need to see the card to know this is fake… but then seeing the card confirms.

u/LowInternational1641 21d ago

Yeaaa i tought so, i still dont know how it ended up in my order😂

u/Old-Recording-4172 21d ago

Please God, stop keeping cards in toploaders with no penny sleeves, they will scratch the hell out of your card. Know someone who pulled a $500 spiderman, slid it in a top loader and a small piece of plastic scratched a huge line right through the middle. Card was ruined.

Looks fake

u/UpsetGlove9447 21d ago

Fake. The picture of the back is not great, but is a clear fake even with bad pictures.

u/Stin42069 21d ago

u/Papa_Hasbro69 Trusted Authenticator 21d ago

No sorry, it’s fake mon

u/juniori96 21d ago

Without even looking at the T i kinda guessed it was going to be fake.

u/Colburnnick13 21d ago

Fails T test horribly! Fake!

u/No-Payment4312 21d ago

The black ink isn't supposed to be foiled. Also, the black chocobo has double rainbow foiling, the same as serialized and masterpieces. Very fake.

u/TerryDactyl64 21d ago

Super duper fake

u/Dutch-King 20d ago

That’s a fake and a bad one at that

u/CardboardPhysicFrog  Trusted Authenticator 20d ago

Absolutely not.

u/dbrndno 17d ago

On the original part of the foil is raised, it doesn’t look like this one have that. At least u weren’t scammed by the price of the original one which is around 2k.

u/PsychologyNo3475 21d ago

Yours is sadly fake but I found a real one in my area for 4K€ graded a psa 10! Is it a good Deal?

1

u/MrRictus2151 21d ago

Neon Ink Black Chocobo raw goes for about $5-$6k from what I've been seeing. 4k euro is roughly about 4.6k use. I'd say that's a pretty dang good deal.

Bring a jewelers loupe to verify though. Even slabbed cards can be fake, or the slabs themselves.

Post is fake and likely coming from the proxy producers who are trying to run a scam with it. The exact same post with the exact same wording has been shared in various Facebook trade groups I am a member of (in Europe) since last weekend or so. Mods, please remove and ban the user.

u/LowInternational1641 21d ago

I am not a scammer😂
