the boosters have the top and bottom pack-crimps the wrong way, duh.  Any crimp collector would notice that  :P 8)
I don't collect crimps but i noticed this as well.  This alone would trigger some kind of thought in  my head if I ever saw them for sale.

Yeah, the crimp was painfully obvious as soon as the first image of the booster loaded.

Would you be interested if someone found one of these crimped, Ben? :P

lol,
If you're not sure that your chrome mox is a real one, just split it.
Clever idea to check if your cards are real or not ! :D

Cheap cards doesn't mean they're fakes. I can buy packs on ebay far cheaper than local store, and if they're not from the latest set they can get ridulously low. I've seen Planeshift at $13/box, Prophecy at $18/box and Apocalypse at $36/box at several store which were about to close
Look at my Ebay auctions!

yes, If anyone has a fake card that has been genuinely crimped, I would like it.  Please send the pack that crimped it also  8)

Looks like a bunch of "new booster"s for Erl00 and Dragsamou and other collectors like them need to get their hands on   :D
I already have one fake 8th and one fake Mirrodin boosters ;)
Please help me finish my Boosters collection

you could buy fake cards with fake money! :)

that's actually probably not the best of ideas, as forging money is probably a much more serious offense than forging mtg cards, but its a funny thought, i thought, hehe :)

anyway, here's another link by one of our own members discussing fake cards:

I've been buying lots of cheap chinese product lately, and I've been worried that they're fakes ($40 a box?), but I can't tell - they pass the bend test, there are foils that look normal, and there isn't any real difference...anyone else seen Chinese fakes of sets like Legions?

Were there foils in these fake australian packs?

Squt
Mark,

 I easily spotted the fakes from the normal view scans.  If you have concerns of you product being legitamite, I will be glad to look at it an point of "fakes" if any are found and show you how to see the differences next time I come over.
