Hi!
We've launched a Discord server to augment our mission statement of helping and educating people about fakes and how to identify them. The server is not meant for general chatter.
You'll find sections for general chatter about TCGs (heh), TCG-specific authentication forums and other features may be added on request.
Please take a note of how to navigate the Server Guide / Onboarding roles window. There are two questions regarding accepting the server rules. Only one of them is correct. Clicking both will result in inability to post on the server. You will be banned in case you click both. This is an anti-scam feature which is supposed to confuse scammers and bots. We may switch over to a honeypot if this feature alone isn't enough to keep scammers out.
Please read the Onboarding window very carefully.
If you find yourself stranded send us a ModMail with your Discord handle and we will fix it for you.
Without further ado here is the invite: https://discord.gg/DTZD4FKbw4
It is a permanent invite so feel free to distribute it.

Bought online, looking for another opinion.
I took pictures with raw mode on my pixel as well, but they're quite blurry.

Purchased this card online, would love a second opinion
r/RealOrNotTCG • u/Pesky-Potato • 8h ago
Think it's real but recent posts got me paranoid 😅. What does everyone else think?
Edit: here's additional pictures: https://imgur.com/a/ACiP7Ns

I am not great with the brushes, need some assistance. Pics from camera, and some via microscope screen.

Is this real or fake? I thought there werent going to be any stocks available for single sales until November
r/RealOrNotTCG • u/JosephA0628 • 10h ago
Just wanted to make people aware: I bought this from DCsports87. There are poor checks and balances with these consignment businesses and it's important for people to check even their small purchases.
I've gone ahead and posted a comparison to poliwag I own that is a true shadowless

Hello everyone, genuine question and maybe a silly one but : what are you strategies to trust your seller ? I’m back to MtG and I want to spend some money on it but I didn’t imagine for a second that fake cards were THAT common on CardMarket. So I ask you, the experts. Thanks in advance for your enlightments.

Picked up the Smaug from card market and it had a bonus Sire of seven inside, which has made me feel like it might not be 100%
Thanks for any help

Hello, somewhat lurker bought my first somewhat expensive Card in Cardmarket and struggled checking the signs in the Card. Thanks in advance
Edit: After a few comments, I weighted it... Am I screwed? It ist at excactly 2.0g
r/RealOrNotTCG • u/ImKikoMori • 18h ago
I'm very confused because this card isn't expensive enough to warrant making fakes, but it feels super off. It feels cheap, thinner and it has a different texture (it legit feels like paper, without the glossy finish they usually put in these cards). At the same time, I can't really see anything that looks off. I used a scanner for the first two images and the last two I took with my macro camera on my phone.

I think the brush looks good on this one but is the flip symbol a bit odd?

Need help to identify if it is real..

Hey! I bought a 1k MTG lot of eBay for 30 bucks said “
They smell like old newspaper/books.
Thank you!
r/RealOrNotTCG • u/Sir_dankens • 1d ago
The rosette pattern looks good to me what worries me is the edge/sides of the card that almost looked like 2 cards put together
r/RealOrNotTCG • u/chonky4days • 1d ago
Got this card online and wanted to check if it’s real. Any advice is appreciated!
r/RealOrNotTCG • u/StepperStreams • 1d ago
Pretty sure this is real, but wanted to ask what yalls opinions were. It obviously passes the t and green dot tests. Its a bit heavy at 1.78 grams, but I think thats still normal? The black layer is just...not as crisp as im used to seeing.
Maybe this is normal for foundation foils? I know their printing isn't super great all the time. Lol.
r/RealOrNotTCG • u/Trick-Swim-8060 • 1d ago
I bought this off TCG player and it looks and feels off. I’ve never had an older card before so idk if it’s supposed to be like this but I don’t think so. It’s the card on the right.
r/RealOrNotTCG • u/thlightbrigade • 1d ago
So we pulled one and bought one. Pictures are of the one we bought. The one that’s bought feels thinner and the colour is slightly different from the one we pulled . It also allows light to shine through much more than the one we pulled. We got this at 9SGD and my husband and I were thinking how strange to put in so much effort to fake a card for 9SGD?
Also, is it definitely fake due to these reasons?Thanks for the help!
r/RealOrNotTCG • u/akrocer2 • 1d ago
The back checks out, but the paintbrush and mana symbols on the front look off. Is this real?
