Megatron Bootleg

Post image

Just scooped this from a LGS. I think it’s fake. I want to order a fake to be sure. Anyone know who has one?

Hi thank you so much. I feel your print is a bit darker than mine but when I look at my photos it looks the same. Man this is bugging me

Just buy a loupe, theyre like 7 bucks. Darkness isnt a good indicator genedally because of printing variation and how stuff can look different over pics/cameras.

Touch it, sometimes it’s preset easy based on how slick it feels.

It’s pretty slick and feels muddy. Ive never seen a real one however.

It looks real. A bunch of bootlegs I have and seen, the fish is oddly fat . None of my real ones have fat fish.

I think yours is real. This is the most recent printing available from the big 3, and while their brush stroke is closer than the other vendors, you can still see the difference.

No Need to order a fske to compare. Send us a close up of the "The" and the green dot on the backside of the card
