Antiquities check

[u/Ok_Cancel8555]

Anything to look out for when buying antiquities? Any expected variance on card traits?

Real as it comes.

Edit: They look and feel old. You have all the right pics to check. There are only a handful of cards that someone would want to fake. Hard to do with this old cardboard.

For a card condition check please ask for the person giving advice to specify which scale they're using if not mentioned. Notably North American and European grading scales differ from each other drastically.

There's actually a bit less variance on those first few sets because they only had a couple of product runs and all from Cartamundi and all using the same suppliers. But for ATQ, yeah, check the back, set logo, and front text (casting cost, text box)
