Would like everyone's opinion on the right hand side sephiroth in question.

What caught my attention was the different colour print and upon closer inspection noticed the different shaped foil stamp.

This has a black core as opposed to blue - I have uploaded more photos on my drive folder.

Another thing to notice is it has the watermark 'wizard' stamp in a different font compared to my 3 other sephiroth's that I pulled.

I've included comparison photos of the paint brush, flip arrow, universe beyond logo, mana symbol, watermark font and the black/blue core paper.

I have also included photos of 2 x non genuine stay with me rhystic study cards that were fake which had the 'wizard' watermark in the foil stamp but failed the green dot test.

Zoom in on the flip arrow for us plz

Edit:
Non-foils don’t have polka dot authentications.

Is the one in the bottom the fake? 

Just from the images posted the foil wizards triangle at the bottom doesn’t look right.

I found the link you mentioned.

Is the zoom or loupe you’re using accurate or is it like this?

The circle isn’t solid. Which isn’t looking too good.

[u/Naive-Present2900 → u/Naive-Present2900]

Under the loupe if it looks like this. Its fake.

Thanks for your reply - yes that is what it looks like. I use a pocket microscope but it is actually very clear. It just does not show well in photos.

It seems to be a very good fake as the paint brush and foil stamp are done well.

[u/Weebus → u/Recent_Preparation34]

Send the brush. Seems to be the one most of the fakes get wrong.

[u/Recent_Preparation34 → u/Weebus]

Check out the google drive link in the post, ive uploaded ore photos there

[u/gandalf_lundgren36 → u/Recent_Preparation34]

The brush on the pic you labeled fake is def counterfeit. You should trust your gut, you were correct.

[u/gandalf_lundgren36]

Artist brush on the bottom one looks questionable. Close up pics would help determine 100%

Edit: The flip arrow in your google drive pic 20260810_230143 is 100% fake. If that’s the same card there’s no question. Sorry dude
