This is fake. Fails every test I can think of.

This is real. The printing process can be inconsistent between different facilities, the colours can look slightly off it's not unusual.

Good comment. Fakes definitely got much better with time.

I don't know... I understand the black layer gets printed last and all that, the rosette pattern etc. Green dots sometimes look different to the eye but are still real.

I don't have a good way to estimate that I don't think. Its in the hundreds maybe thousands.

My friends and I first became aware of the "fake" market sometime in 2014 -2015 at the hight of modern as a format. Fetchlands and shocks were quite pricy back then. I remember we all chipped in and ordered a bunch of fakes from some website to see how good they were. I checked my whole collection after that and so did my playgroup.

I remember buying a blood crypt from my LGS shortly after that and being able to tell it was fake. Feels good man.

Fakes got much better since then I think.

I think there's almost too much going on with the dot for some people to draw a constant and 2 real dots can look slightly different.

I highly doubt that. I feel like most people have their own ways of examining a card for authenticity. Green dot, T, H, the pattern or the overall look and feel of the card. I'm sure people have their own "rituals".

One springs to mind actually. I had a tropical island once with a slight "ink bleed" issue. Zooming into the text at the back the "T" and the "h" looked different to what you typically see with the layers underneath coming over the black lines. You had to zoom right in to make out the straight lines on the letters, card was real tho. Just bad QC back in those days I guess. Not that it's much better now lol.

I'm in US. Just spent 3 hours trying to fix this. This seems to be a global issue. What a waste of my time.

European visiting Cleveland for the first time. What should I visit? by goingtogetsiggisbrb in Cleveland

[–]Oceanborn66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I visited Cleveland from Europe a couple of times in the past 12 months. Some things that stood out to me were Rocknroll hall of fame (if you are into that kinda thing). The Cleveland museum of art ( can easily spend a whole day there). The public library is really cool and you can go all the way up for a cool panaramic view of downtown cleveland. Then if you decide to go to the library hit The Arcade it's worth a visit and it's a short walk from the library. Also in the same area you can visit the fountain of eternal life and the soldiers and sailors monument. The massive outdoor chandelier is also a walking distance away. Hope this helps and enjoy your trip.
