Hyper Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 soem of you may have read this before but i juts saw it and i took interest in it. Here are ways to indetify counterfiet cards since t is possible in yu-gi-oh and has been caught.watch out! 1. FIRST and foremost, check the hologram in the lower right hand corner. no matter what, when you shine it one way, you should be able to see "yu-gi-oh" and the other way you should be able to see the millenium eye. ALSO if it is a first edition card the logo should be gold, if unlimited it should be silver. If any of these things are missing, its fake. 2. Next, look at the border on the front and back, it should be a thin dark gray & white line on the front, not a solid color. The back border should be orange and white, not a solid coor. 3. On The Back: make sure that the konami logo is clear as well as the yugioh logo in the lower corner. 4. Holding the card up to the light, you should not be able to see through it at all. If you can its either really played, or a fake. 5. Make sure all the text is clear and crisp, especially the 8 digit game code and the (C) 1996 Kazuki Takahashi. 6. Comparing it to a normal one of your cards that you KNOW is real, look at colors, thickness, and shapes, and quality. If there are a lot of differences its probably fake. 7. This is more common sense than anything else, but if you can get any really hard to get cards really cheap, like a blue eyes or thousand dragon for only a dollar or two, beware of fakes! (basically if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.) 8. Also common sense, but if the person selling/trading it wont let you take a close look at it, be suspicious. 9. If the person selling/trading the card is trying to rush you or pressure you into selling, take your time and check all the cards out.

Genkai Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 word, but you know what sucks? my friend got a blue eyes in a kaiba deck that has a messed up holo, like, the holo is just about an eight of an inch below the pic, so it's probably ULTRA-RARE but people will think it's fake.
