Just wanted to update everyone here, but this is mostly for the mid Michigan area folks.Coys Comics and other game stores have been alerted to high quality fakes being circulated in the area. Coys is currently in possession of the following fakes:
Stoneforge
Jace TMS
Wasteland
Polluted Delta
Flooded Strand
Sword of Fire/Ice
I have seen them personally, and there are 2 good ways to spot them. The first is the set symbol. The rarity color for mythics and rares is 'washed out'. Compare to a legit rare and you'll notice it. Obviously this is hard for older cards. The second is the copyright line on the bottom of the card, and to a lesser extend the rules text box itself. The small lettering is basically blurred.
Be aware, this is possibly only a small portion of the fakes in the area. A single seller was turned away from the Bay City store after being told his cards were fake, but unfortunately was able to sell some to Coys Comics. The owner there saw other high value legacy cards in the sellers binder, and these fakes may include FBB duals.
