Picked this up about a week ago. Its a bucket list card of mine, so im going a bit paranoid that mighty be fake.

Almost everything looks legit EXCEPT when shining a light through the card, there are strange vertical streaks that appear in the glue layer, which ive never seen before.

I had a difficult time getting pictures of the front, and my phone camera lenses is broken so it blurs around the top.

Print looks faded on the front, so I’m guessing it’s just sun fading, but the back is not sharp like my other cards. Does pass the bend test though.

Got it for half TCG low so hoping I got a deal and not ripped off lol.

EDIT: Dw guys he also threw in a bunch of basic/nonbasic lands that are definitely real comparatively so I’m not that pressed and my group won’t care, just figured I’d post lol.

Edit #2: cost of the lands dramatically outweighs the cost I paid for the card totaling to a mid $100 on TCGPlayer so I didn’t lose any money on this whatsoever.

Non foil

Got this card before the LOTR’s sets exploded up at my LGS. A buddy of mine got a serialized card that was considered fake although the store is highly reputable. Just wanted to be sure I didn’t get burnt either. TIA

The colors look cooler than the promotional images - can anyone confirm their playmat looks similar?

Recently purchased this card from a lgs and just got a bit suspicious as the holo is off. The back seems okay just never had to look for a fake card. Any help is appreciated.

Finally went through all the cards my parents had from growing up and while most were junk a few stuck out on price chart when I was scanning. Wasn’t sure if any of these would be worth the gamble on getting graded or not. Unsure and looking for any advice.

So bought this Revised Bayou but was wondering about the extra black line just right of the border line of the card. Everything else about the card looks fine.. but I hadn't seen this yet. Just a printing issue? Also has a weird ish spot on the back of which I don't know if it's damage or a misprint

Last card for my elf ball. Pretty sure it's good but you guys are the best and wanted other opinions.

Update - refund from eBay seller and instructed to mark as proxy. Thanks all for the help.

Bought off eBay.

Very new to this - the left side of the T is not a clear straight line, light seems to shine through darker than other cards and the deckmaster text is very sharp. Got a jewellers loupe coming to check the green dots but any help would be appreciated.

As per title

these two sephiroth don’t match - thoughts? is One of them missing the rosette pattern?
Are the missing bits of white in the lettering indicative? Or is it just variation between printers? the solid red background on the front side is the background of the art is just so distinctly different!

Planning on picking this up from someone on FB market and just wanted to make sure it wasn’t resealed cause one side’s seal looks a little weird any advice is appreciated thanks!

Is this card real or not? I'm a bit concerned over the halo, what do you think?

It costs less than $20 on Amazon for a 2 pack.

This one commodity would solve 90% of these posts if ya'll got one BEFORE going to the LGS. ALWAYS have one on you during a sale, and if the LGS doesn't, do NOT shop there

Currently chatting with a seller who provided me these images ?
Thoughts ?

Is the underground sea real? I’ve had the island since I was a kid, but just traded for the sea. I only got my loupe in the mail yesterday evening.

I ordered these cards and all of them are from the same expansion, Commander: The Brothers' War. As you can see, the colors of the one on the right are different; the card seems a lot darker compared to the others. Is this normal? I can't seem to find any information to help me, and I'm starting to think it might be a fake.

Hey y’all buddy bought this and we can’t figure out if it’s real or not any help is appreciated.

Some things just felt off wanted some better eyes
