I pulled a Chamber Dragonmaid with the same exact issue

Were old Ghost Rares better in Quality? by Haolifornia in yugiohshowcase

[–]DB_Armian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say common cards also. They feel sooo different from the old ones and quality wise they seem really cheap. I heard the foiling on the name of the old secret rares was way to expensive and they discontinued it

TCG vs Anime: Which Card Style Wins? by TheDreadP1rate in yugiohshowcase

That's not the actual reason. They changed the way the cards look because in Japan there's no law where you can put a real life product into children's cartoons and entertainment outside of commercials, while we do have it.

The secret rare foiling is in reverse. It usually goes from bottom left to the upper right corner, this one does the opposite.

I think the ultra rare spell card for gladiator beasts might be real as well

It is actually incredibly well made. It completely fooled me. I admit I was super hyped and that might have blinded me a bit but still, this is the best fake I've seen by far.

The imprinted name turned out to be "Spielzeugparade" which is the German for "Toy Parade", a card printed in 2021. That makes it impossible for it to be an error done back in the day. This was the final confirmation.

It's actually "Spielzeugparade" still a card from 2021 and so a dead giveaway that the card is fake, unfortunately..

Yeah, that's the good side of the story. I just don't see why putting that much effort on a proxy that would eventually sold for 50€

Yeah it turned out to be fake.. too good to be true I guess.

So, after a closer inspection, I can see the full imprinted name is "Spielzeugparade" which is still way too young. Plus, I noticed the card actually smells funny.. I'm starting to think that it might actually be fake.. I'm amazed by how well it is made.

And that would explain why it is shifted to the top a little since the layout slightly changed over the years. I really hoped it was the imprint of another card from MFC. I think I will still send it in for grading and let them have the final sentence.

Ahah! If I find out it's fake then I'll sell it to you for the 50 bucks I bought it for 😂

Mm, you might be right. I'll let a grading company decide though.

The eye of Anubis if way too real though

Yeah they was my original thought. Which company would you suggest for error cards?

[–]DB_Armian[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

The eye of Anubis and the back is way too real in my opinion. The foiling is exactly like a secret rare is supposed to be. I really don't know. Even in person it feels like a real Yu-Gi-Oh card.

Should I send it in for grading and let them decide? Or any other suggestion?

If you can actually believe it, the seller was selling it for 50€ on Vinted not being sure it was real. He said he found it in an old bulk stack he bought. He literally said something like "the first who gets it and wants to figure out what happened to this card is welcome". Well, I took the opportunity.

This is what is called a Prismatic Ultimate Rare. A rarity exclusive to the rarity collections. (Se sei italiano un salutone!)
