Where is the light test? Why didn't you rip one in half so we could see the middle? Get your damn light, and rip one of them in half!
@paulgaither 3 жыл бұрын
Rip test doesn't matter anymore. They have black core and blue core for years now. There are high quality proxies which are black core and white core so you cannot resell them as real and they cost about $20 for 10 cards, but make amazing proxies for cube and commander. Once in a sleeve and on a game table, nobody will know, but only look at the core and they are obvious. However, there are also blue core fakes that cost a more if you are trying to be a scum bag. Not recommended. However, they will pass a rip test and then you will have to justify ripping the card (pay the person for damages).

They looked good until I insisted to see one out of the binder and gave it the light test and it failed miserably. Then I noticed the off color of the green dot on the back . It was basically yellow . Thank u for all these types of videos man . Sincerely

How isn't it a test? He felt the cards, he compared the it with alpha cards. There's no need to do a light test when the authenticity is so obvious. A light test wouldn't even do it justice, as if they can "replicate" the feel of the stock, and the alignment to the same degree, then the core wouldn't be a problem either. But it's kinda like a check list. There's no reason to do C), D) and E) when A) and B) checks authentic. And the order is crucial in this case as you can't get A) and B) correct if C) -> and above is wrong.
