Fake magic card green dot compared under a microscope.

I show more evidence that a high quality fake magic card that I received on Ebay is a fake by doing some comparisons of the green dot and holographic foil stamp under a digital microscope.

It's amazing the fake card actually has a higher resolution printing.

It's not amazing at all. When you are printing fakes to yield the value of a card to always be 10's if not 100's of dollars, you can print on the highest quality process. When you are printing 99% of your cards to be worth $0.01, and occasionally a higher value card, you have to compromise. What is amazing is that wotc has as good of a process as they do.

I believe you but to put the haters to rest you should just ask them to donate to you so you can buy another force of negation so not only are you comparing the same set but also the same card.

@DismalDante Жыл бұрын

Good idea. I don't need to ask for donations, but I can just buy a real force of negation from modern horizons to compare. They have dropped in price to only around $30 now

That's pretty conclusive! I couldn't tell from the video, but does the fake have the same matte finish as on the back of a real card, or is it way too shiny?

@DismalDante Жыл бұрын

I compare the finish on my previous videos, but the finish on this fake card is in the same range of matte/glossy as real magic cards

Hey for the green dot, can the red dots for the L fade? I'm roughly new to MTG so im just unsure, even if the seller is certified

@DismalDante 8 ай бұрын

Newer more modern cards have red dots that are more faded than old school cards (as shown in this video) but it's best to look at the dot pattern inside the green dot in addition to the L red dots

Hey for the security thing is it on every card I can’t find it I do the green dot test and they pass with ease I also packed these cards but I can’t find the mtg security thing you were talking about

@DismalDante Жыл бұрын

The holo stamp is only on rare and mythic cards and are not on retro frame cards at all. But if there is a holo stamp, the security feature "Wizards" text should be there, but it's so small you would need a digital microscope to see it.

The deal is that the fake cards just have to be "good enough". It use the be the light test, then they cards started passing that, then the overall quality got better and better. Next it is the green dot test and if that become more of a thing it will be copied.

@DismalDante Жыл бұрын

I am a bit paranoid about fake magic cards, so I check each one I buy with a jewelers loupe. I didn't suspect anything about this particular card when I first handed it, but under a jewelers loupe it was obvious. I was able to get my money back through eBay since I caught it right away.

Is there a possibility that older cards fail the green dot test and are still real? Bought a serras sanctum but there is no red "L" at all....i did the light test seems ok...uv light test also ok..

@DismalDante Ай бұрын

I don't think it can be real, but do the volcano test as well as shown in kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bLZ6YLWW3NfOhIk.htmlsi=E_ldNhJM_INq4iVo

If you bend it a real card doesnt crease, a fake one might

@DismalDante Жыл бұрын

The bend test doesn't work for fakes anymore, as the fakes also are made on similar printing press with a core in the middle that allows flexibility

@robertmendez8383 Жыл бұрын

I'm my experience with fake cards the fakes are always thicker and you can feel the difference in your hand without sleeves compared to any real card. Real cards are lighter paper and less thick.
