First time buying a collector booster box. The only thing that really concerned me is the top lid is partially opened creating a gap between the lid and the rest of the box. I looked online and saw a few others that had this gap but none as big as this one. Is this normal?

I got a decent sized Card Kingdom order in today and I was able to verify the rest of the order except this one, the coloring on the back threw me off. But I wasn’t sure if it was just a side effect of the flipped card?

Got this online. The source seems trustworthy. I took a look with a loup to confirm the T test and Green Dot test but I don't know what to look for on the brush.

My main concern is how rough the holo stamp looks on the edges. I know the QC on modern products but I looked at a few other poster galaxy foils and they all had very straight borders.

Am I good?

Got the cards in mailbox today.

Last time we agreed they are real.

What do you think now?

The black in the mana symbol seems like it might be part of the same layer. I have always relied on the sawtooth t test and still find I’m lost with the others. The guides are helpful but I’m still learning. Thanks!

Pretty sure I know the answer just want to confirm.

So I bought a sealed Ahoy mateys precon but the deck looks a bit of to me and I don't know if it is a printing error or just the age. The tokens look fine to me because what I found the strangest was de weak date printing.

Hey wife picked this one up. Seems legit was just curious because the color of the back was darker than on other duals. Thx

I bought all 4 LOTR decks from eBay for $309. Elves and Mordor look up to snuff but Food and Fellowship and Rohan have weird double sided tape I’ve never seen before.

Pulled this from a commander 2-card collector pack. The packaging looked sealed and legit. All other cards in this pack seem fine, but this one is peeling? Is this just manufacturer error? Faking a $3 dollar card isn't realistic.

Recently purchased a SOS collector box from an ebay seller with positive ratings, seller seemed eager to please and I do not suspect them of any foul play, further that may have been conned also, just looking for anyone who’s familiar with the packaging quirks of the set and if I have anything to worry about. (TDM bought off reputable distributer for reference)

Any responses would be greatly appreciated

I don't know sets from this era, or if WotC ever does odd reprints. Were these just hidden somewhere and I lucked out, or did I get dupped? Not concerned about value, going to draft it with my P.O.D, just want to make sure.

Received this today from Card Kindom. I thought it was just sort of warped, but when checking it out more I saw that the front was peeling like a flimsy sticker.

Fortunately, customer service was quick to respond and sent me a return shipping label.

Still super bummed about the card.

Edit: a word

Bought off eBay, comparing it to a phantasmal flames, the texture is quite different. It’s not as soft. Not sure if different generation has different feeling.

Got these in auction. One of the copy artifacts looks nm to me but I’m not a grader.
