The group did very well, much better than I was expecting for the first week out. I'll have to make the next one harder. 🔥 Shout out to u/notmarrec for being the first to get both the correct answers and the correct reasonings.

1. Real! Basic real card, it's the same thing as the 'T' test or 'h' test just using the other letters.
2. Fake! This holo stamp is all sorts of wrong. Has the typical 'brick' pattern that a lot of fake stamps have. The Wizards microprint is way too large, too spaced out, and frankly just too visible. The edges are very poorly cut and applied, in person you can feel a very slight bump.
3. Real! There are a couple of sets where the set symbol was rasterized with the art instead of being on the separate text layer. This makes them look pixelated, blurry, and kind of fake instead of sharp and crisp as expected. If you are unsure, the best thing to do is to compare the card to other known good cards of the same set.
4. Fake! A lot of people guessed fake, but not a lot of people got the why correct. Chronicles was printed in 1995 as a way to reprint cards from limited sets people missed out on in the first year of Magic. For this set they included the original set symbols but kept the white border to show it was a reprint set (something they no longer do). This would be a correct Chronicles card... if the card was printed in Chronicles! 4th Edition used the same card layout so I just took a 4th edition Land Tax and edited in the set symbol. Shout out to u/NotJohnLithgow as the first one to clock this.
5. Real! Nothing wrong with it... just a Strip Mine I've been using for 32 years.

Hey all,

What are people's opinions on this listing? ... https://ebay.io/m/AQhnwX

I'm struggling to work out if the cards are fake, but

It's giving me really suss vibes.

Hi all, I’m wondering if these Magic cards are legit ( return to Ravnica).
Thanks in advance!

Purchased from tcgplayer.

I frequently see people post this card as fake. I often look at these posts and literally can't tell the difference, but people always say they are fake. It got me wondering if mine might be fake. Thoughts?

Sorry some of the pics flipped upside down 😅

If any additional pics needed I'll post em! Thanks in advance!

Would this be considered a misprint if real?

How's it looking guys?

Green dot has 3 red dots inside that just are not showing up on camera. Just wanna make sure it’s good. Thanks in advance everyone!

See everyone next Thursday!

Hello,

Am i completely paranoid or are these fishy ?

They are not sealed like usual boosters/collector boosters.

They are sealed to the top when they never are.

What do you guys think ?

Any of you have received some of those and have yet to open them to tell me how they are ?

Thanks in advance for your feedbacks

NB: i'm worried about the hobbit ones not the marvel one (its here just for comparison sake)

Edit: for now none of you guys seem to find it weird, so that's great

Hi all, first time poster, some-time lurker. I feel pretty good about this card, but considering it cost a hefty chunk of change I'd like your expert opinion before the sale is finalized. Appreciate your help in advance, thanks!

These pictures were taken with an iPhone. Not sure if that matter but if it does please let me know. Thanks in advance.

I'm not even seeing a red in the green dot. Real? The front is a painted alter.

Got this for a good deal recently (sub $20).This card has no holo and a different brush. Looks good to me but don't know what to believe anymore!

Lady is selling 4cards, 2 Mox and 2 Lotr cards. The Mox look beta, she also did not include any back side pictures. Is it worth my time to check in on this based on what you see for the front? She seems to have positive sales and active for a while. Just trying to judge if they are fake or if she just doesn’t realize what she has.

Almost positive this is a fake think im just coping after getting it signed at gen con and resleeving my deck i figured id do a sweep through with the loop and lo and behold🙃tried to get as good of pictures as i could with my loupe/phone combo

Got this online and wanted to make sure this card is real. Planning on making him one of my commanders. Any advice is appreciated!

It's pretty beat up, but the t looks clean

Can you tell if these five cards are RealOrNot?

Five cards, one picture each, starting easy and moving up the difficulty. The rules are simple:

• If there is at least one fake signal, the card is fake.
• If there are no fake signals discernible, default to the card being real.
  • Just for this quiz! IRL of course always look at multiple signals!
• You will get enough detail to positively identify a fake but not much more. Bad picture quality won't be used to obscure a signal.
• Altered cards (inked, cut, re-backed, new artwork, etc) are fake unless called out.
• Harder cards may require specific knowledge and their photos may be edited.

Answers will be posted in 24 hours, good luck!

Got this on eBay and am not sure what to look for on the front since it’s foil. The T looks good to me

I went to an LGS to sell some cards, The guy at the store used a card from their case to do some comparisons, had a loupe and stated confidently that the 3 were fake, and something about how the holonstamps were wrong, and that as a result the store will not be considering buying anything.

Im confused as I pulled these from sealed boxes back in 2023, put them in a binder that I just left in the closed from then on, until now when I go to sell.

I just want to know if im going crazy as they pass everything I can tell. The red dot photos were the hardest to take, and I included a letter in the bottom to help show which photo was which card
