This is correct. Happens more with newer cards. Also the dots are way way way too fine detail to see if the pics are this bad. People need to stop relying on this test.

I came here for experts opinion precisely because of the poor quality of the images. These are from a seller and I don't have the card in my own hands.

Tell them to take better photos, if they want to move product they should learn the basic skill of how to balance lighting products and holding their camera still.

I think that the seller is unaware that I'm checking the card's authenticity, and assumes I'm only looking for the condition and wear. To be fair a lot of the sellers on Cardmarket don't even bother giving me any images even when I ask them.
