What was your zoom level on the foil stamp?

Dude just hold a card up

hi, nice videos!!! i opened today my first japanese foundations collector box.... what a shame, printing is saturated, darker... i did all the tests, and sadly it is real....

probably... i bought so many from ebay and tcgplayer

These are now the first things I look at including the 4 red dots WHICH MIGHT NOT ALWAYS BE THERE even on legit cards from certain sets: 1) The black outline of the green dot should have a wobbly 4 dot line to the left, a straight one at the right and a straight one at the bottom. 2) The first T in The Gathering is easier than the H, should simply have a crisp black wobbly bottom line. The best way beyond that Imo is to learn in what direction the colors are printed onto the card and look at e.g. the amount of yellow ink blobs in the green field of the green dot including their angle.

The green dot method hasnt worked for the past few years of modern day magic, its only reliable for very old sets

thank you for the video! can you tell us what type of magnification you use? power and brand

thank you for this useful information! The only cards I've ever gotten that were damaged have been rares and mythics. why don't they just use the same process to print those as they do the commons?😂

The bullet whizzing noises are what made this awesome to me!

May I ask how you are doing your magnification? I have a jeweler's loop and I can't even see the word wizards in the holograph stamp at all. thanks for the video!

Deck list?

I think I found my dueling spirit

cool Event but it was called Goodie Bag… thats no bag thats just a paper bag 🙄

They’re all fake, it’s plastic and cardboard that y’all think are worth something.

The packs we had were Dominaria United Collectors and Mystery Booster convention edition. I wound up getting 3rd place and winning 4 more Duskmourn packs and had some great pulls and super fun games.

As a returning player (once again) after being gone for 13+ years, i hate backward curling foils. What do you thinknof recent secret lair rainbow foils vs non foil editions? Any insight there into process or where they come from? I'm thinking of upcoming marvel drop.

Is there a rule on prerelease foils and if they come from Japan or Usa?

I went to the event at my LGS yesterday and it was great. We had a Theros Beyond Death Draft Booster and a Innistrad: Midnight Hunt Collector Booster. They matched perfectly with the theme and the mechanics of Duskmourn. And playing with the emblem made everyone play five colour all enchantmen and good stuff. It's was a real treat!

What are the extra packs

One of the saddest ways to detect that a modern MTG card is fake is that it's higher quality that real ones. Cards don't feel flimsy. Foils don't curl. Older cards are still pretty obvious. No one who has been playing for any length of time is going to be tricked by fakes of ABU/Four Horsemen cards. They can't seem to get the colors on the backs of the fakes quite right. I got an Arid Mesa that was almost bang on on the front side, but the back looked like day glow orange sherbet. I've never seen a fake that had a correct reverse side, and I own thousands at this point. I was comparing a real Alliances Force of Will to a fake one day. One thing to consider is that fakes are printed on modern equipment. The expansion symbol on the real Force was grainy and lower resolution due to being printed on machines of that era. The fake was CRISP with very high resolution. Someone inexperienced who was looking for Forces may have been fooled, thought the real was fake due to the lower resolution, or not even thought of something like that. There's no real catch-all way. I ordered two fake Drop of Honey from the same vendor, and they both looked radially different. Both _obviously_ fake too at least.

That fake is blinding me it’s so reflective. That’s a clear indication.

6/8 = 3/4ths all good im sure u ment 11/16ths

Bill is the most fun commander i have. Ive never had a deck that comes back so fast even after a board wipe

Dang im going to have to cosplay as a cowboy now

Yeah ... I hope so the were when i printed them it would be very concerning if the weren't

I haven't looked at magic prices for about a year. The last time I went to pre release was WOE and I'm shocked at how cheap singles have gotten. I have the same virtue and I thought it was worth more lol, I don't get cards for value *cough* jeweled lotus *cough* I like to play the game. Yes I do own a few lotus and crypts, the only reason I'm upset is because lotus is a commander specific card.

Thanks for the video, it really helps to got an updated view on this - appreciate it. I recently got some troubles to declare cards 100 % legit. From the back they all seem legit - rosette and color variation excluded. Bend tests are positive as well. Most of the time my suspicion grows from different combinations of the following: • the black parts of the set-symbol or mana-symbol are blurry • font weight is different • light is barely coming through the cards • weight ist outside of 1,7-1,8 g - most of the time under • sometimes thick black layer in between • on some holostamps the "WIZARDS"-Sections are not shown or just barely shown If they are legit inspite all these, there is only the back to tell if cards are legit. What are your thoughts about rebacks? Everybody keeps telling me, these are only been done for old expensive cards. I think, if someone finds a cheap way to do them, they would aim for cards that are commonly been sold - which i think is more like 3-20 maybe 30 dollars.

Great tips, thanks for sharing

Those singles are surely worth more than a blb bundle. Def singles either way

Bottom right? I'm not sure, one definitely seems different

The 9 pack bundle is not that expensive.

as a new player, i am curious as to what people are talking about when they mention old foils. what was different about them? at what point did they change?

A small addition: not all collector boosters are US printed. I ordered two displays of Bloomburrow recently, they were shipped from a US store in Florida and they both were JP printed.

Single always

They are both bad T_T

Police need to charge for copy it!!! Magic cards needs to take action against pirate s!!!!

What about thinner font in the text box?

Thanks for the video! Still have not even seen one in my area at all. There was exactly one, once but it was on hold. Had to make two decks myself to make up for it lol.

My Double Masters 2022 Borderless Foils Pass every test besides the green dot test... The Red L or "7" is not present whatsoever in each of them. Should I be worried? It's a dockside extortionist and a mana drain so kind of expensive.

The red "L" in the green dot (4 red dots) are also not present on some real cards...

so it's impossible to test without a microscope , got it......

L A N D F A L L !

I missed/messed up some of the triggers, but hopefully you still enjoyed it. :)

Proxy cards have become either indistinguishable or in many cases better quality than authentic.

This is great info, but I'm color blind, so green and red are the same color in my eyes. Are there other ways to check?

If I trade for a damaged one ring how do they know I didn't just open it?

Looking forward to that upgrade!

I bought a draft box of Wilds of Eldraine from Amazon and I felt they were really weird. The first thing that stuck me was how fragile the packs were. Breaking apart whilst opening them at the top. Felt strange and more plastic-y. Then I noticed the smell of the cards that smelled very strange. Like cleenex or very strong chemical smell. Then the cards felt a little rough on the sides, a little bit like sandpaper but very light, like a bit rough. I feel they are fake but I gotta buy one of those magnifiers to make sure I guess

*Bootleggers watching this video for educational purposes* - "Ok thank you so much kind person, we will improve upon our fake cards from these lessons learned"

Great video, thanks!
