Topic: Fake Cards

What can I do if i receive fake cards after i have already sent?

Re: Fake Cards

how would you know if its fake? other than the obvious tell of the work and effort, as far as I know, there's a method that requires u to rip the card to see if there is a blue lair at the core. otherwise if obvious, tell him to send back or give him negative feedback I would say

I am not sure what you are trying to say... but there are many ways to tell if a cards is fake or not. Early generation fakes fail the bend test, water test and light test. Mid Gens fail the light test. New generations you need a jewelers loupe and to inspect the lines on the card. So plenty of ways to tell a fake.

Well I fucked up and left feedback without inspecting the cards first. I received a voice and 2 spellskites. When I went to sleeve the cards I noticed the voice looked off like way too bright and shitty printing. The cards passed the bend test but failed the light test. I then took them to my LGS for inspection and they verified the font on the spellskites was off.

Nevermind. I just found the trade and the quy is already banned as a scammer. I am sorry it happened to you. Just file mail fraiud. Not much else you can do unfortunately.

I'm dealing with a fake Venser in a trade at the moment sad

edit: before another person messages me, I know it's a fake. I'm posting the photos so that other people know what to look for.

Re: Fake Cards

Well, the bad trade was resolved. Sort of. So now, what you've all been waiting for - the Venser rip test.

What a surprise - black core (authentic cards have a blue core).
