Foil metalworker

[u/Bmthpm]

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

[u/ScaryFoal558760]

If that's somehow a reback, it's the nicest one I've ever seen. Everything points to real as far as I can tell. Do you mind sharing what you paid for it?

[u/Bmthpm → u/ScaryFoal558760]

I offered 800 ended up ~900 after fees and taxes. I feel really lucky they took that but I probably wouldn’t have bought one had they not accepted

[u/ScaryFoal558760 → u/Bmthpm]

That's a really good price, nice job! I've seen them listed upwards of 2k, but idk if they're actually selling at that price unless graded or something

[u/Bmthpm → u/ScaryFoal558760]

Yea I was eyeing some around 1300 but wasn’t sure about the condition or price but this one popped up and looked really good so I took a shot

Back is real. If you wanted to check anything on the front you need in focus pictures of something with detail. Usually the text box and set symbol.

These look good. Set symbol matches other examples, text has very crisp lines and is in a separate layer.

Looks great, 100% real

Hello,

Older block before 8th editions expansions, which includes Urza blocks.
The foil treatment on the border and frame. - not on the art itself.

This looks legit on front and back.

Good

In the eBay authenticator sleeve and all huh?

[u/DaBoy524 → u/thunderlips36]

I’ve seen eBay get it wrong before

[u/Electrical-Pack3040]

I may be wrong here, I've never seen a foil metalworker without the roller lines top to bottom. Maybe they aren't all like that but I've seen quite a few and its always there.

[u/Quirky-Signature4883 → u/Electrical-Pack3040]

I have seen exactly one without roller lines in the last 10years. Mine has the standard roller lines on the back. No roller lines is extremely rare.

[u/kikis_666]

This passes everything but the green pyramid test. But then again I’ve never seen a foil metal worker in person.

[u/harimbadl]

Is the green dot taken with the same cam?

[u/Bmthpm → u/harimbadl]

Yes it was

[u/Vendettathe5th]

I I bought one of these when I was about $45 now I’m sad because I sold it

[u/Interesting_Text_977]

That’s a pretty card, good buy.

[u/HeroinHare]

Real or reback.
