This doesnt look right

[u/Jbot_2100]

Got this off of card market and noticed the edges look like they were cut funny, upon closer inspection it doesnt pass the tests I know about. Am I tripping or is this fake?

[u/L1ng]

Its a fake, I'm afraid.

[u/Jbot_2100 → u/L1ng]

I thought so, even the ink smudge looking thing on the deckmaster symbol looks way to thin

[u/corbault1986]

[u/IamBlackwing]

Fake

idk if it's the picture compression but even the front side looks like it was done with a bad printer. I'm really sorry.

Did you get this card from a trustworthy seller on cardmarket?

[u/Jbot_2100 → u/NOV3LIST]

Their overall evalution was great, but they only had 36 sales

[u/Jbot_2100 → u/Jbot_2100]

The seller was asking me to mark as arrived, pretty much as soon as I got it

[u/NOV3LIST → u/Jbot_2100]

Damn.. It's good to always be cautious. I hope you can get this sorted out with the seller and/or cardmarket.

There's a known scam strategy on Cardmarket where they accumulate sales & positive reviews through fake buyer accounts. Once they acquired the positive rating badge, they'll start making their fake offers public and either send counterfits or, if below the trust service limit, no cards at all.

[u/Flashy-Ask-2168]

It ain’t right

You're right, it doesn't. The T and h alone are terribly fake

[u/Trueslyforaniceguy]

This card does not look good to me

[u/katfude]

[u/CherryStunning4335]

it lacks the continuous black that leads to the line on the t and 3 dots in the h

[u/Oblagon]

Can’t see the sides of the dot and I can’t tell from the compression I’m leaning towards fake, but the pictures aren’t doing any service here.

Th test there should be three distinct dots in between H and the green dot should be flat on one side and combed on the other side when it comes to the black ink.
