other fake cards in boosters

[Lord_of_Llanowar]

I got this card from a guy who bought some boosters in italy,
i heard of those other fakes, but they seem to be different then these

oh yeah, this one supposed to be foiled, it kinda loooks like a pokemon foiled :S

[Thrond]

Am I blind or the fake card is smaller than the original one?

[Lord_of_Llanowar]

yes the fake is smaller
also the back is of lot less quality, while the front looks to be good

[Mr.C]

This is worrissome... the market here in Brazil is very, shall we say, open, to counterfeit products... i hope we dont get flooded by these fake cards...

[AXIOS]

i'm not really into the new layout, but aren't core set foils supposed to have black borders?

[Celebrindor]

Yes, all foils are supposed to have black borders.

That card actually looks quite cool, although a pretty poor fake to anyone not completely new to magic. The back actually reminded me of the first impression I got from an alt-4th card back. It's quite similar although a bit more apparent.
I would be interested in trading for that barbarian if you will trade it away ;D It's the first fake that I thought looked cool enough for me to want.
Is it just me or did they do something spiffy to the "background" of the picture?

I'm very interested in getting fakes.  I think they look rad.  Since they are fake, they should be less than a normal box, right?  Let me know if you can "confiscate" a box for me.

[AXIOS]

ok, before i invade i had to say this:

You know what you guys are doing?

You are making the counterfeiters very happy and cheer them, so they will make more fake cards and completely flood the market with all the fake shit.

So if any of you guys ever is gonna complain bout getting a fake minagishi token or something like that from ebay or what source, i'm personally will come to you and put your head under a printing press and make the worst fake there are using your profile!!


;D ;D ;D

[dry cereal]

but these are different.  They aren't even playable.  They're kind of cute.

first thing,: the card isnt mine, i took it to scan, alltought it probably wont be hard to obtain as mine if u want it.

second, this is a foiled, it kinda looke like silver confettie as foil(pokemon like or something)
also the border as you might see isnt perfectly white and the surface of the front of the cards is very smooth cause of it beeing foiled,
looks like the put plastic on top of it :D

ill let you know when the card is actually mine, and if i might obtain more of these cards, and perhaps even the booster

Well, if there's a foily Grizzly Bears I might need it for my collection. ;D I don't suppose the entire fake booster is "foiled," though, is it?

I think Axios is in the perfect mood for an invasion.  And I agree with him completely regarding his concerns.

Counterfeit cards have the potential to destroy Magic collecting wherever they become common.  If accepted, they drive down prices.  If numerous, they also drive down prices, since less people collect if they expect to get a fake.  

And the more prevelant they become, the bettter the fakes become (since profit and quasi-acceptance spur counterfeiters to make better products).  Given the amounts of time, effort, and money most of us have invested in Magic, it is NOT in our best interest to accomodate modern counterfeiters in any way.

 Even though i don't collect these "new style" cards.
I'm concerned about the intrest in fake cards and boosters. :-/
It sends a message that collectors are willing to collect fakes making them worth somthing.
 In turn, alot of the magic population follows our lead with collecting the rarities in todays world.
It tells all counterfeiters of fake cards" it's cool to make fake cards".
 After a while we would'nt know what's real and what's fake. >:(
Making ALL cards not worth as much.
Most of us have alot of money invested in our collections, it's bad to put a value on(or have interest in) these cards.
It's just my opinion.
And we all know "opinions are like ass holes, everybodys got one". ;D
