A Really Fake Dark Magician Pic!!

1. My first piece of advice is to Look on the bottom right hand corner on the back there should be a ™ sign. If that is blurred then the card is fake. It's a little sign under the YUGIOH Logo!!
2. Continuing, by Inspecting the back of the card some more. On the back next to the Konami sign there should be a small ®, if this is blurred then the card is fake.
3. Look for the Konami logo on the back at the top-left, and the Yu-Gi-Oh logo at the bottom-right-- if it doesn't have this it means they are fake.
4. Feel the card, if it feels waxy it's probably fake.
5. Examine the cards for any giveaways -- (they may say they are fake right on them).
6. Some cards might have a shiny coat that makes a kind of sparkle and can only be removed if you rip the card. If this feature is on a card, it will always be a fake!!
7. Check out the color. If it is not solid or is slightly faded, they are most likely fake. Also, the backs shouldn't be different colors unless they are god cards; Obelisk is blue, Ra is yellow, and Slifer red.
8. If the card has a different name than the original cards then it is most likely a fake card!!
9. There will be a small silver or gold square in the bottom right corner with portions of the word YU-GI-OH in it. If the box is not there or is not exactly in the corner it is fake.
10. Look at the font. If it doesn't look exactly the same it's fake. If it has a shiny look at the shiny parts, see if the shiny part is circles everywhere then it's a fake!!
11. If the images appear washed or blurry it is possibly a fake. Sometimes the words will not be grammatically correct, this is a dead give away.
12. Read the description carefully. If there is any strange wording or misspelled words, or the font is different from a normal card, it is a fake.
13. Also, if above the card description box it says 1'st edition and the little shiny square is silver, it is fake.
14. There is also a Japanese symbol to represent the kind it is in the top right hand corner, if not it is most likely fake.

           These are all good tips to use to check and see if  your YUGIOH Trading Cards are Original or Fake and ensure they are truly the Best YUGIOH Cards Ever!!
