so ive had these 2 for awhile that were supposed to be alt 4th ed.
is there anyway way to verify
ive held side by side to a
4th ed animate dead vs (alt) 4th Strip Mine &(alt) 4th Nether Shadow
Animate Dead- rougher feel, ink seems dotty, glows under Back light
Strip mine & Nether Shadow - smoother feeling, ink just seems different idk why, doesn't glow under Blacklight
only info Ive read was on SCG

Look at the back of the card and check out the top right portion of the 'A' in 'MAGIC'. A regular 4th edition card will have a light blue color highlight while the Alt 4th card will be dark blue. Check here for examples:
