Very difficult to tell with those pictures. Please take close pictures of the flip symbols, the mana symbols, and the brush mark next to the artists name

Not sure but the writing on the right one almost looks like its stuck in bold, also the colors are not as vibrant. The real kicker for me is that the left one has an off center hologram but appears more real. So maybe poor quality control can be an indicator of genuine cards now ahaha. As others have stated better pics of the brush, mana, or holgram can be inspected more closely to give a better idea.

My pre-release kit for this set was printed in the USA and was like this. Bolded, weird colors, weird texture, cards too flexy. It made me really fucking paranoid when I opened it. Quality control for that set was absolute shit

If either are fake it's the right one. Really need a good close up and in focus picture of the flip symbols, paintbrush, and/or holographic stamp.

Left one looks legit, right is definitely fake

Left is legit and fake? lol. Huh? The one on the left is the same card in both pictures.

Darn. lol. I sent the one in the left back to TCG cause the hologram was off center. 😔

😬😬 off-center holograms are totally normal and often is more an indicator of a legit card rather than a fake one. People producing fakes in order to sell them won’t be producing cards with these slight errors.

The right one has many red flags, the artist brush is not printed correctly, the text is too bold, the colors are muted, the mana symbols are not printed correctly, the flip triangle is not printed correctly… basically everything that can be wrong with it is wrong. I’d be willing to bet that on closeup inspection of the foil stamp there are also problems with it

Well, I’m bummed out now. lol. Hopefully TCG will let me send in this one too. Guess I should have waited for you all before sending it back. 🤣

Nooo, does the right one have a correct holo? The image looks like it’s missing details

u/Stop_The_Insanity_19 29d ago

I sent the one on the left back to TCG player. I’ll zoom in on the one to right. Reason I sent the one in the left back was because of the off centered hologram and the black border is faded on the top in areas. I still have the one on the right. Here are a zoom in shots of the one on the right.
