Hi.
It seems that the quality is there,the guy could make a bunch of $$$$$
especially at 22.99$ to 29.99$ the Proxies or Buy all eight for $165.00
;D
EDIT:Looking closely at all the pages not One time an adress or name or phone is mentioned,and we you add an item to your cart,it's sends you directly to a Paypal account,something looks fishy to me :-s

my guess is that it isnt legal at all.

i'd go ahead and report it to WotC/Hasbro and let them take care of it.

This has been up for a while, and if you pay, you do get some nice looking proxies. I haven't bought any myself but someone I know says they at least pass the bend test.

Probably because they don't yet have a real one thats good enough to counterfeit. garbage in ... garbage out!

I hope they get slammed, as there are far too many of these on eBay now, and if they aren't stopped they will adversely impact both eBay and collecting of mainstream Magic cards.

It's been reported. The actual proxies may pass the bend test, but they blatantly LOOK fake. Basically it's just a regular card with the front erased and then printed on, and you can tell it's not real if you give it a good look.

I recently saw one of those up close. All it seems is that they took the thin top layer of the card off compleetly and printed in the remaining stock you can see the thikness difference with the naked eye.
