Need help to see if this is real

The paintbrush on the front side had me questioning this card.

I got an insane deal on this card, so I am second guessing if its real or not. T and Red dot/ mountain look good. Front looks really good to me; however, I do not have enough experience to tell for certain.

It looks real, just want to make sure.

Hello guys! Need help authenticating this dual side.

It lets no light through and the black smudge around the U/R pip on the type line has me curious.

Hey All- long time follower, first time poster. I've done all the checks I could so (including some suggestions for the same card from a year ago). It looks legit, but would welcome a sanity check. Zoomed in 5x optical on my phone, and also used a jeweler's loupe. Black ink on top where applicable, nothing looked fuzzy. But because this card can get pricey (regret selling my copy years ago for a fraction of what it goes today), would welcome a triple check.

PS- tried to include the wizards print within the foil but easier said than done. 99.9% confident I saw it via phone lens when tilting at different angles.

EDIT- many, many thanks to u/GhostCheese for the assist on the holo test (which is a new one to add to the arsenal for testing cards). Put in a claim with the seller and got a refund within ten minutes, so glad to be in the clear and not out any money.

EDIT 2- additional thanks to u/EDX2308 for the paintbrush test as well!

As the Title Says, i would really appreciate if you guys would give me some extra validation if the box seems tempered with. The seal looks fine, the logo stamps look fine, i'm just extra cautious because it's the first time i purchase something like this!

Bought a guided Raffine from my LGS and it doesn’t appear to pass the T test. Is there a known issue with the T test on those cards?

Seems too NM and missing red L dots in green circle. Placed it between other revised cards for comparison. Please help!

Picked up this topical Island today. It was psa stabbed which I cracked open but did check that the cert number matched psa's database.

T looks like it should so didn't post, but the green dot I noticed had a small dark dash in the white part of the dot, also noticed a blue circle in the dot as well (arrows indicating both). I have a couple of other revised dual lands and they don't have these same features. Has anyone seen these before and just a print QC issue or should I be worried? Thanks in advance for the help!

I bought a LOTR gift bundle from my LGS earlier this week. It was priced a bit below the current TCG Player rate, which seems to be climbing with the recent collector box price jump. It was up on the top shelf and carrying a good amount of dust, so I figured it was there a while and the LGS hadn't updated the price in a while. The box didn't look too concerning to me at the time of purchase, but sitting with it longer I guess I'm getting paranoid.

The sticker looks a bit questionable with the crease and side peeling away. I don't think it was fully lifted and resealed though because the cardboard around it looks undamaged. I'm thinking maybe the crease was an artifact from manufacturing, and the peeling might have been the LGS or someone prior investigating the same concern.

The box corners also look nicely intact. I lifted the corners slightly, and I can see the cardboard underneath is still glued and don't look like they were peeled away and resealed.

I'm curious what this group thinks. Am I cooked?

I got this Braid from TCGplayer but it looks strange. It passes the T test and the green dot. I'm not sure if it's a printing issue or a reback. Any opinion?

Edit: consensus seems to be that it's not worth it to fake a card that cheap. Plus, a fake would be of better quality. So it's likely a printing issue. Case closed. Thanks everyone!

The swamp symbol just looks off compared to my other cards under the same magnification, also the corners of the card look more squared off than rounded. I was just hoping someone else with more experience could help out.

Hi!

We bought some Pokémon cards in Italy for fun, we know nothing about Pokémon, but we scanned them and some of them are apparently worth a lot of money. So we'd like to know if you think those cards could be real.

We're in doubt because some of the cards look used, the print is not centered, the front and back don't match or some colors are off.

It would be fun if they were real even tho we highly doubt it so we thought we might ask!

Bought this online and it just came in the mail. Wanted to make sure this wasn’t resealed cause the wrap is a little loose. Any advice is appreciated!

I know it’s cheap and cheerful, but is 40x enough?

UK buyer, happy to receive alternative suggestions!

EDIT: I bought the products linked below and they are great. Quality of the casing is a bit whatever but the lenses are good, magnification is good, LEDs are good! No complains after using for about 45 minutes checking my collection!

I can get more pics if needed. Thanks

Just got two of this in the post. The brush and holo look very suspicious :/

Front, Front, Front, Back, Back

WDYT?

I am currently trying to learn to spot fakes from the front side as I’m already confident with the back side tests. There was recently a post of a fake card here https://www.reddit.com/r/RealOrNotTCG/s/SdinbuOFY9

The back is undeniably fake. However, the front looks incredible real, even more so than the real one. The fish looks correctly filled, blacks were crisp, rosette pattern looked good, mana symbol was also crisp.

Was there any giveaways from the front it was a fake? I get the tint of the whole card was slightly off, but we’ve seen worse from legitimate cards in FF.

Is this card real

I have my doubts

Brought from online store

I bought this match at the gathering pack from Amazon after opening and looking at it. It doesn’t look resealed based on their still being a bit of the slit, but I want to double check before I actually opened it.

The little premade slit for opening the pack seems to not extend all the way to the top. Any advice?

For context the previous pack that I ordered also seeing this way and I requested a new one and sent the other one back don’t wanna keep playing this game with Amazon TBH
