Hey Rudy, Since you can obviously not take out your slabbed cards for color/lighting reference, you might be able to put the cards of "questionable authenticity" into an empty slab instead for reference.

@mradabaugh9406 4 года назад

The slabs can't be opened without being broken, therefore it is impossible to put a card in a slab wily nily.

Your videos actually saved me $250 on a fake Invocation Force of Will, so thanks, Rudy. Looked at another one side-by-side, did a color analysis, light test, reflection test, and used jeweler's loupes to look at the printing pattern up close. Documented my process and took photographs as best as I could, and even video recorded opening the card's packaging from the seller just in case. Luckily, I was able to get my case resolved and my money back.

@truenewsglobal 5 лет назад

Right away: The borders are too white on the unlimited cards. You can tell instantly without touching them or seeing them up close.

@blacklanner5795 5 лет назад

Always have a reference set of cheap common alpha / beta / revised of each color to compare to. You can still find junk commons of each type / color for pennies. Comparing your tropical island to 6 known authentic cards will make sure you didn't get screwed.

@0lderSch00l 5 лет назад

Those "lines" on the lotus look like they were caused by running photo grade card stock through an ink jet printer. I quit using ink jets decades ago because they impregnate the paper and cause those lines on full color prints like photos (or, I guess fake cards). The photo stock mitigates it somewhat, but you can always see them. Fun fact, that's why the colors are lighter overall on the card, because ink jets SUCK at color depth, even now.

@andrewames247 3 года назад

To anyone who might help a beginning collector out; if I don't have a jewelers loupe to check the rosette pattern, is a light test still a gold standard to check for forgeries? Are there ANY known fake cards that can pass the light test?
