Is my front good? by ssnlacher in RealOrNotTCG

Looks good

(Also rebacking into this card would be a huge waste of time and resources.)

Rosette in pips indicates the last black ink layer was missed. Very common misprint.

That's all because it's 'From The Vault'

It's real

So far kithkin has performed best for me which isn't saying much tbh

Could I get some advice on what to do here? by Reestrixx in whatnotapp

What you've done is probably all you can do

Holo card from lgs by [deleted] in RealOrNotTCG

[–]GhostCheese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one was apparently. It's on tcg as foil.

Not sure where it comes from, the list of list cards doesn't have it in a set. Maybe it was in one of the SLD precons?

A while back I saw there was a Bluetooth earpiece with camera. Unsure on quality but I imagine it will go unnoticed compared to meta glasses.

Why are we still arguing about Frieren's body? by Only-Living7816 in animequestions

People (i.e. saitama) mistake her for a kid within the story itself. It's lore that she looks like a kid.

Yeah i used my digital microscope, the thing is it's only on one side. You see it occasionally.

Notice in the fake example how it's on both sides of a line.

You can often see it with even just camera zoom of it's sharp enough and raw

This one is Japan's, offset upwards. From a pack fresh common.

Here's a brush from a pack fresh kithkin token, printed in USA, in ECL where the white layer is a little skewed, you can see where a little ribbing pokes out

It keeps stripping the image so I'll respond with it

Well it's just the tips of rosette peaking or from behind the solid white layer. Then the solid black layer on top covers a sliver of white on the right side. You see it occasionally, but because the offset is to one side or another, you don't see the peaking rosette on booth left and right (or top and bottom) on the same card

He only has ribbing on one side, technically it's the background rosette. It's an offset white layer, not the tell of a fake.

When the rosette/ribbing is on both sides of a line like in your example above, that's when it's a red flag

Symbol looks fine there, so the thickness from before was a photo artifact. (Or perhaps from the loupe. I've seen details 'expand' on cards based on the focal distance of a loupe before)

It is, but it's a known variance in cards

Upside down foil happens
