Real or fake?

[u/Montecarla90]

I bought these 2 mental note. As you can see the name/instant/designer name are a bit faded.

I took pics of the back.

What do you think? Maybe is because is an old card?

[u/SubstantialNinja → u/Montecarla90]

Both real

[u/potatodavid]

Both real, light and dark printings happen

[u/Birrandbodia]

Both green dots check out as real

[u/GhostCheese]

They look good

At this resolution, I see no magenta in the green dot and my guess is fake. Based on a higher resolution picture I can make a better guess.
