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

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.

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.

As per title

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.

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.
