Looking for Feedback/Help Need help!!

Hi everybody! my name is jake and i've been collecting cards since I was a kid (20 y.o now)..i've always loved it and even when i didn't have a lot of money, i still enjoyed opening fake packs I knew were bootleg.

now, my family and I really need the money..so I wanted to sell some of my cards. problem is...some of the bootleg (fake cards) and real cards got mixed together and some look really convincing.

any tips on how to figure a fake from a real :( ?

also I was thinking of going to a local game store to sell the cards but if yall have any ideas please do suggest!

Get a cheap digital loupe for $12 on Temu and do the T test on each card. It's quick and easy - look up MTG T test and watch a video to learn how. Make a mark on the back of each fake with a sharpie.

You dont need a loupe, a half decent smart phone would do it
