So I ordered an ancient tomb from a low unnamed person on tgc player

So this person sent a extra foil {tombstalker} asking for positive review and I don't know fakes that well

Rip it in half. If there's no blue inside it's fake. Unless you've got a microscope, then you can check out the edge and see if there's blue in it.

Also, water beads off of legit magic cards. It smears into fakes. (Never tested that one myself, try a basic land first maybe.)

Bend it. If it creases or doesn't bend back it's a fake. (Again, I've never tried it, test it out on a basic land.)

If it's a legit card I'd be super happy. I love me some free cards.

1. It's sad to see human faith gone :(
2. YouTube has a bunch of vids on determining fakes or real
3. It's probably the vendor trying to boost his feedback, what's wrong with that?

Yea no one gives away a free $20 card.  I have ordered couple hundred dollars at a time, sent a message asking if they can toss in some free zen lands for a valued customer ;), and they said no lol

People also don't know everything when they sell on TCG

Don't rip it

Black light test and also bring to an lgs to see with other items of same set

I thought my sigarda foil was fake but it was just that blocks foiling process

Tombstalker is a $21 card

The original is a $21 foil true. But still think about the shop who on earth needs a foil {Tombstalker} it's probably sat on his shelf for years!! So he figured why do I even bother lets give it away to a lucky person who in return can give us a positive review. It's supposed to be a nice gesture.

Is there anything that makes the card look fake?

I don't know fakes well so I can't tell you

Mattao19

Does it look real to you though?

I can test cards for fakes.
Does the card feel coarse?
Does it look a little thicker than a regular foil?
Does it Bend easier than a normal foil?
