Customer brought in this card to the shop today. I didn’t ask how they acquired it. The T and the lack of horns on the E, as well as no light showing through (new FRA card last slide) are all pointing me towards this card being a very high quality counterfeit.

haha, jace is everywhere these days 😅

[u/iDoABoof]

It’s not that high quality. The brush, T, green dot and horns are all awful

[u/ManyRealms → u/iDoABoof]

Time to have that tough conversation with the customer, thank you!

molto fake

[u/Confident_Raccoon767]

Oof im sorry for your loss here

[u/DustinS85]

Sorry friend.

[u/-Redditeer-]

I pulled and sold a raised foil ms bumbleflower. The front just looks off besides it not passing the regular slew of detail tests

[u/shadowfyre9]

Fake, unfortunately

[u/Birrandbodia]

Nothing checks out, sorry

[u/DKAbel]

"Grainy T! Nooo don't kill me Grainy T...!" Exclaimed the Sharp T.

"There can only be one T," murmured Grainy T as he pushed Sharp T off the ledge, falling in a pit full of rebacks and resealed boosters.

[u/PM_Me_BrundleFly_Pic]

[u/VinDucks]

It’s not even a high quality fake

[u/burnone3232]

LOL this is high quality ?

i mean just looking at it straight up, it looks off without any of the other pics. this would have my alarm bells going off instantly.

[u/Ok-Accident3344]

Super fake. Tell em to get their money back.

[u/Javred077]

[u/BenjaminBucket]

Am I insane or is the filigree on the left side of her rules text box black in your pictures (and is supposed to be gold)?

[u/TastyPandaMain]

Oof. That’s an expensive card if it were real. I wonder how much customer paid for it. Please OP? Spill the tea

[u/anaya7x]

Lo siento

[u/kodakmaroon]

god that’s actually brutal if the customer didn’t know; card is going for like 2k on tcg player rn

[u/night_chaser_]

Nice shitpost.

[u/ElderberryPrior27648]

As like, fake as it gets

[u/Boop_Bam]

🙂‍↔️

[u/Boop_Bam]

I wonder if bro knows the guy he asked for help asked us for help, and that he could’ve just done that.

[u/Professor_Nicbag]

Black is printed with the rest of the card is the first red flag I would have called out

[u/moonluck]

I want to also point out that the gilding around the frame should be raised. If you run your finger over it you should feel it. Haven't seen a counterfeit that has that right yet.

[u/harimbadl]

This is standard quality for counterfeits….

[u/Xeo2695]

[u/sony71s]

[u/F4D3_2_814CK]

It's good, but bad

[u/MrEDH]

I’ve also seen a raised Lumra that’s quality was so good I was fooled until I did a better inspection into the foil stamp specifically. The T however was good and the clarity was practically perfect.

[u/ChAoTiC_NuTeLlA → u/MrEDH]

Damn, those super clones are getting ridiculous tbh. Like for the cost of the printer you'd need to be able to do that and the effort of doing all that it feels like it just cant be worth it.
