Fake Liliana of the Veils

Recently purchased 3 LOTV online off of tcgplayer. Traded one in to a store and got a message today saying it was a fake. They did the LED light test. So now I have two other fake Lilis. Have messaged the store informing them about this and hopefully they refund me my money. If they don't I will get with TCGPlayer directly to see if there's any legal action I can take.

Ouch, that sucks man. Sorry to hear about that.

Horrible horrible 256.00 hopefully they reimburse me in full.

Yep it is getting harder and harder to order anything off of tcg player or eBay with all the fakes roaming around

Yes it's ridiculous at this point. Anyone else have this happen to them?

I've literally never received a fake.

I had Pokemon cards. They came in a pack and everything. No magic cards that I'm aware of.

I would test the other two that you have. Just because one was fake doesn't guarantee the other two are. It could have slipped past the store just like it slipped past you.

So you mentioned that you got a full refund, but what was the response of the store?

Was it an honest mistake or a crap we got caught response.

And did u leave a comment about receiving fake cards from them?

TCGplayer does not sell cards directly as far as I know, they are just a middle man like our community moderators in Free Trade, albeit unlike the community they charge commission. Which shop did you purchase it from?

All three turned out to be fakes. The store was NovaethMTG and he and I spoke personally and he gave me his number so I could send him proof of the LED tests that i did for the cards. Honestly he seemed like a nice guy who had someone pull one over on him but usually people who pull scams are good actors too. So there's no telling if it was intentional or not. He sent me a refund through PayPal and didn't go through tcgplayer for this, but now tcgplayer is wanting him to refund me again through them but I'm going to just have them drop it. The only thing I found funny about his storefront is the only other card he has for sale is a Jace the mind sculptor for 80.00.

While it is a little fishy, keep in mind he may be a smaller storefront that is just looking to move popular  higher dollar cards to boost the number of cards he is allowed in his inventory. I'm not sure how many sales he has (I haven't checked him out), but in order to post a lot of items on TCG you have to sell a certain amount first. There are 4 tiers, so if he is only in tier one, he can only post 10 items. Like I said, it is a little fishy, but who knows.

He has 5 sales as of now i believe. As I said earlier he seemed like a very nice person that could've just gotten screwed by someone else. But it's one of those things that we'll never know unless someone buys that Jace and tests it to see if it's a fake as well.

I'm more interested in these LED tests. How does it work?
