In no way was I implying that this was a cut and paste. I am saying that the card was scanned, and then possibly touched up in something like Photoshop. Or the problems were corrected and then another card was fabricated. My point is that if anyone looks at the original pic, you can easily see flaws as posted previously. What I did was to take a piece of paper. Put one edge at the top border and put a mark when the M logo is met. Then without moving your head (thus maintaining the same view point), take paper and move it to the bottom. You will see that the logo is not center top to bottom. Do the same for right to left and you will see the image off center. The left border is easily seen as uneven without having to zoom in at all.I have been looking at this larger picture, and I am finding it hard to believe that it would be fake, not that it could be. Because, if you look at the large scan, you can see the threads within the colors are interacting with the other colors - it is not a clear cut down the sides. One in particular (and this is what me think that this is not a cut and paste fake), is on the right hand side where the gold meets the black, about 6 cm down from the top, there is a large thread that goes across the 2 colors. (this is the big picture, before it shrinks down, well at least in shrinks eventually in my browser ;)) And on the bottom right, there is a mark of some kind moving towards the left and up and you can see it moving into the black, though faintly.
I could of course be completely wrong about all this, but this enhanced picture does not look like cut and paste, possibly washed out acetone style, that I cannot say, but not a cut and paste.
The newer, larger image no longer has these flaws. The border was fixed. The M logo is now centered. This means one of three things. Either the original image was touched up, but saved as magnified to a larger resolution. Second a newer larger image was scanned, but then digitally edited (which is very simple to do). Third iamca fixed the problems and produced a new printed card free of the defects of the original. There are still problems with the new image, but as motorcitymagic said, we should stop helping this guy fix the flaws, so I will not publically point out more flaws that are apparent.
imaca made the big mistake of having the new image severely differ from the original. These cannot be the same card and one of the 3 possibilites I mentioned was use, obviously calling him out and proving this to be a definite fake.
It will be obvious that iamca might possibly try to change the original pic, but I thought ahead and saved off a copy of the flawed pic just in case.
I am actually a little surprised at the number of people here who believe this card to be real and not faked or altered.
