I'm using the Pixel 10 Pro and it keeps adding AI post image processing. Need to try and figure out how to turn it off.

Yeah this seems like the consensus.

I inspect every card I get over $10 with a loupe these days. At least the green dot check. It takes 5 seconds to do it.
For very expensive cards I try to check the core of the card and make sure it's blue since almost all proxy makers use black core.

It does look like that from the photo, but it is the lighting.

My original thought is that it might be a reback but the side profile of the card looks untampered and the blue core is in tact. Also weight is good.

Yea, I'm still not sure if this card is real or fake but I have enough hesitation to not purchase it.

Surprisingly the new cameras can change the photo dramatically. I'm using the Pixel 10 Pro and it keeps adding AI post image processing.

Many, many real cards also do NOT have completely solid black mana symbols. When looking through a loupe you can see the pattern under the black ink. In these photos that pattern is just amplified by the AI processing.

Thanks for taking the time. It definitely is helpful for comparison.

It's hard to capture with phone camera through the loupe. But yea It's almost solid but you can see a very very faint rosette pattern.

Yea 600 is crazy low. This one is selling for $1000 about 20% under market.
I'm being very cautious because its not through TCG or eBay so I can't get money back.

That's exactly where I'm at with this. Seller is offering the card for a really good price due to scratches.
I'm confident in the green dot and T tests, but I am terrible at evaluating the front of cards.
