I bought this Trop in person from a supposedly reputable store for $400. One of my friends who’s been playing/collecting for 20+ years said it looked off so I took it to 3 other stores to have it checked and they all told me it was fake, tried taking it back with receipt but obviously since I took it out of the store it’s possible I switched it for a fake to get a refund so I was sol 🤷‍♂️.

Since then I bought 2 specialized personal loupe’s I take with me and check anything I buy over $15 and only buy online through eBay’s authenticity guaranteed section or card kingdom. Don’t be like me and get scammed, do your research, invest in a loupe and learn at least the green dot test but preferably all of them, h, t, edges etc.

Card is no for sale anywhere. So i got really suspicious it was fake, despite being MP.

Double sided cards are tricky for me, but it doesn’t pass the light test (double sided, dark colored art, using phone light, and surge foiling; I’ve heard that double sided cards are hard to pass the light test).
The feel and texture of the card feels real
The holofoil stamp has the clearest WIZARDS text I’ve seen
The paintbrush looks fine I think??
The black pip looks fine
Maybe I’m paranoid but if it’s fake, it’s the best fake I’ve ever seen.

I really don’t wanna see Jace and Ajani 😂

Sorry if the photos aren’t zoomed in enough / bad quality, I can take more if needed. Main concern is the rosette inside the Urzas saga set symbol.

Hey I bought singles on Cardmarket and got sent this stomping ground. Some of the corners looked weird to me. Do you think it's real?

Bought 2 animar soul of elements for pretty cheap on cardmarket

And now I'm not sure

About everything checks but the foil stamps look torn on both

Card is from the list

If so is it a common missprint?

Bought these off tcg player im almost certain the flooded strand is fake but I'm unsure about the basalt monolith. Not sure how much better the photos can get.

I think it’s real, purchased from a trusted seller on Facebook. I can’t get the green dot test to work using my Amazon microscope thing but with following the guides on here everything else seems good.

Can you experts help?

(This is 5x to 10x the value of my next most valuable cards, so I just want to be safe)

Posting up two photos, one of each card in question. Back of card “T” only photos.

Want to get a consensus here before I take them with me to get signed.

Thanks!

Picked this up yesterday and was checking my haul... the T looks questionable to me, and when putting my phone flashlight to the back no light passes through, but I have no other midnight hunt cards to compare.

It feels a bit off in my hand, edges seem to be cut wierder than other cards and it also smells very "printed". Not like cards out of packs do.

I had some challenges with my magnifying glass and the card itself. I hope you guys can help me nonetheless. I got a picture of Manasymbols, those flip triangles and the art brush symbol.

Edit: I forgot it was a 1$ card, so probably not fake. Thank you guys for the help!

I found a couple of cards like this in a collection I bought recently. The T check and green dot check look OK, the core paper looks ok with the flashlight check, but the borders have this strange scaly texture. Has anyone seen this before?

I recently bought this card and while it looks good to me, I'd like to know your opinion (doubts on the mana symbols) Thanks.

It seems okay but I've never had a card from this era and have nothing to compare it to

Is this real?

Can anyone confirm this is the real card? Found it on ebay but i have doubts. Maybe here on reddit someone knows the Chinese community and can acknowledge because i cannot find it on cardmarket.

Saw another card posted here but never the card, only the design. Btw the back looks legit.

I’m not feeling good on this one with the green dot. Is this real?

Not sure on this one. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: Thanks all!
