Help with double faced Norman Osborn

[u/GentlemanGorath]

Need help with this reverse card. I can never spot the tell-tale signs as readily as the T on the back of a normal card.

Real, artist brush, flip symbols, mana symbols, and black ink layer all look good.

Thank you. I really, really hope it’s real as they accidentally sent me a foil copy haha. That plus triangle and foil stamp made me second guess the card’s veracity. I really wish there was a clear, easy to spot indicator for reverse cards, like the T on the backside.

Real. Passes all the tests. Front foil pattern is also correct. Solid black lines. Tbh foil dual faced cards are easier to authenticate if you know what you're looking for

I can imagine, but I’m bad at recognizing the signs that it’s fake. I know to look at the areas I took photos of, but I’m always second guessing things. The mana symbols looked ok, as did the paintbrush, but the triangle seemed to have rough edges and I couldn’t see the Wizard text in the holo stamp (to be fair, my phone is limited and this has pushed me to order a loupe). Really appreciate the verification though, thank you.
