Today we look in detail at two MTG proxy printing website: PrintMTG.com ProxyKing.biz We compare and contrast based on quality, price, options, and more. Make sure you visit krakenopus.com for more MTG content!
Anyone know how I can tell the difference from these and the actual cards? I know they're ultra realistic proxies, but shouldn't there be a obvious difference between them without needing me to have the real and proxy side by side?
@@aRFav713 As soon as you have to resort to these methods (which I highly encourage anyone dealing with high value collectables to do) then you are no longer in proxy territory. At that point you are trying to spot a counterfeit. Both from a legal and ethical standpoint a big difference. If a service that advertises proxies actually sells you counterfeits I would be very unhappy.
I just go to office depot, print out 100 cards on 8 x 11 matte label paper, then cut them out and stick them to bulk MTG cards, for about 40.00 per devk.
Pretty much. And there are people that try to sell these or trade them in a LGS , thats a major problem and for high value cards you can outright call the police on them. Any store that wants to keep up a reputation should not allow any counterfeits anywhere near their location and make sure people mark their proxy cards so its absolutely clear they are playtest cards (not having the Magic back is a big help, any "Proxy" with a magic card backside is questionable, as people will always play them in sleeves anyway).
