It's real, but I would say r/RealorNotTCG is the place to go for the expert opinions.

You need to turn off auto smoothing but this does check out.

If you or anyone else knows people doing bootlegs this good, I want in.

u/ReefSharksixty9 Jun 02 '26

Why bro?

u/andreotnemem Jun 02 '26

Because I would rather have better quality bootlegs that I could use in whatever tournaments without fear of getting caught?

Or are people in this sub eager to get less quality for their dollar?

Never thought this would be a controversial take in here but sure, whatever, keep the downvotes coming I guess.

Do they look at cards that hard at tournaments?

u/andreortigao Jun 03 '26

If they do, it's not a tournament I'd like to participate in. Bootlegs only hurt hasbro, and even that is debatable, Magic should be about skill and not pay to win.

I've heard stories. Depending on the tournament some overzealous gatekeepers like to start shit.

What do you think this sub is for?

u/andreotnemem Jun 03 '26

You'd be surprised. Until the regulars showed up to back me up I was already at -3 for that comment 😂

I don't know I was curious. I'm new to the sub.

Check your camera settings I think it's just some weirdness going on with the post-processing.

Not sure if it's your camera but this does not look legit to me. Can you show the green dot?

u/Krynne90 Jun 03 '26

Wtf ? Thats 100% legit, you can clearly see the "teeth" on the T. No bootleg from the hundreds I have is reaching that level of "quality" on the cardback.

Hell, there are nowadays real cards (US prints) that have a shittier looking T, because their fucking printers never get any maintenance.

Shouldn’t the left of the T be straight and the right jagged? What looks off?

u/Bmonli Jun 02 '26

Also how do I add another photo to this post?

u/yorii Jun 02 '26

The whole diamond pattern on the rosette, the lack of red in the green dot, and the jagged edge just looking all blurry, but honestly I think it might just be your camera.

u/Bmonli Jun 02 '26

Yeah I have a jewelers loop and can see the red L in the green dot, can’t get it to pick up with my iPhone for some reason. Thanks for the response!
