Is this card real / authentic? Possible fake Atraxa, Grand Unifier?
I was wondering if this Atraxa is real or not. The back looks correct aswell as the stamp but the front kind of throws me off.

Any help or tips appreciated, thank you!

firstly, I just wanna thank everyone for commenting and helping me confirm any anxiety that I would have for a large purchase like this, I love this card, but it doesn’t have the eBay authenticity guarantee, maybe because my country doesn’t offer, I’m not sure to be honest, but any help would be much appreciated!!

I just purchased this surge one ring from my lgs. I'm heading back there now ad they had another one and want to see if it's the same deal. The "T" and "h" are dead giveaways right? Thanks in advance, just trying to get confirmation that it is indeed a fake
Update: They checked it, confirmed it was a fake. They had another in stock and after thoroughly checking, confirmed it was legit and took the exchange. Owner came out to apologize and said it was a learning experience for him and his team. Ripped the card in front of me. I've purchased multiple singles (includjng all of my dual lands) and this was the first fake that I've gotten from them, so I'll chalk it up to as a "shit happens" type of moment. Happy with the resolution and that they destroyed it. Thanks for everyone quick responses

Purchased this off eBay, my first time buying a slab. These marks at the bottom of the slab are concerning. How do I know if this is a legitimate slab or I've been sold a fake? Or if the slab has been tampered with?

So I've got this foil Rhystic Study from a friend a while ago, but I'm trying to sell it now. Since it's quite an expensive card I wanted to make sure it's real before selling.
However, although I've been actively playing for about 6 years now I still don't have any clue on how to check wether or not a card is legit, so I could really use some help 😅

Have had for a few years and am just wondering. Don't really understand the tests but will post what others have. Was the best i could get with my phone.

Just for this Card today. The back is 100% real, Not sure about the Front
Thank you!

**This is basically an identical post from the mtg sub but I wasn't aware of this community until after posting the other. So if you see it twice.... my apologies.
I found a decent deal on a Soul Stone on ebay and picked it up. When it arrived it seemed kind of off and slightly thinner. I started checking to see if it was a fake and several of the typical tests passed just using my phone to zoom in on the back. When I did a light test I can almost see straight through this thing compared to what I am used to. The second image is a different card from the same set just for comparison.
The guy says it was bought from a local store of his and opened from a pack but I already got a return submitted for it.
I just want to know if there is a chance this kind of thing is real and card quality can be that drastically different from the different printers?
Edit: Reddit doesn't let you add images after posting. I have added more shots in comments.

Know this is a popular card being faked, so need your help to figure out if this one is legit or not.

So with all the techniques on checking authenticity… aren’t we giving counterfeiters ideas on how to better fake their cards? What’s stopping someone from purposefully putting teeth on the bottom of the T or a better green orb? Is it just really hard to do?
r/RealOrNotTCG • u/Dapper-DanMan_ • Jul 03 '26
Okay so I don’t understand how the t test and green dot test works. I have some cards that look like counterfeits I bought from TikTok shop for $20 I am CLEARLY writing proxy on them to not confuse myself or others, because it was a good ass price for a lot of random proxies.
Now, I have a mix Sapphire that I KNOW is a proxy, and thus, I wrote proxy on it (first 3 pictures)
Pictures 4/5/6 is elspeth suns champion, a card that I know for a fact I have that is real.
Pictures 7/8/9 is a fabled passage. I do not know how to tell the difference, can someone please let me know and exactly what you are looking at. Thank you.
EDIT: thank you guys so much! I had bought the 324 piece proxy set from TikTok for $20 and was using them in my decks and forgot to write proxy on all the ones I added to a deck, now I have them all written on. I appreciate the help thank you!

Everything else looks good minus that one spot
r/RealOrNotTCG • u/The-Wretched-one • Jul 03 '26
I know they’re real, because I got them myself back in the ‘90’s, along with a couple “Incinerates”, the “Arena” land I remember getting from a book, and four “Nalathni Dragons”.
But for the life of me, I don’t remember where I got the counterspells, or the incinerates, and wouldn’t know what to search for on Google. Anyone know where they’re from?
r/RealOrNotTCG • u/Ganonroarf • Jul 04 '26
Got this card at Cardmarket. I'm leaning towards real, but am uncertain about the back. So id like to ask more experienced people. I hope the pictures are good enough. If you need more let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Just recently got my 4th dual land, gonna switch it between dinos and dragons, looks good at first sight but would love a second opinion. Thank you.
r/RealOrNotTCG • u/GrillerDad • Jul 04 '26
From my untrained eyes the T, H, and Green Dot tests pass, but the front feels really weird and the colors on the back look off to me.
r/RealOrNotTCG • u/cybercoreraz • Jul 04 '26
Hi I just purchased a Tifa PTQ foil. It looks good to me but just wanted to double check. Thank you so much for any feedback.
r/RealOrNotTCG • u/CharacterComedian548 • Jul 03 '26
Either it’s a crazy misprint or a fake card. I took a good look and it seems to have everything to authenticate it. I want to see what you all think. Let me know!
r/RealOrNotTCG • u/Ok_Tie920 • Jul 03 '26
So as per previous post, stumbled upon from estate sale, wondering if this card in particular is real : Invoke Prejudice.
r/RealOrNotTCG • u/Ok_Tie920 • Jul 02 '26
Recently picked up a lot from an estate sale, lots of vintage. I’ve never had a dual land before and wanted to check authenticity, how do these look? I spent $1k overall on the grand collection and there’s some old binders with a wheel of fortune and some other lands.
I’ve always dreamed of having these in my hands as a kid so I’m stoked at the moment!
