Just curious if anybody has seen this before. Got a beta Sinkhole in the mail today which has a strange back. On its backside it has a thin line that goes over two third of the card. The line is obviously printed, so it's no dirt, dent etc.. I compared the back of the card to other betas that I own and none of it has this line. I'm wondering if it's a regular misprint or could it be an indicator of a fake?

I haven't seen a misprint quite like that before, but it's certainly within the normal variance that could happen in the print process. It also doesn't stand out enough that I would expect to have noticed such a defect, even as someone who cares about misprints.

Nothing else about these pictures raises suspicions about the card's authenticity, and Sinkhole would be a fairly dumb card to counterfeit anyway. I doubt you could move more than $300 worth of them fast without crashing the price. It's also an unlikely error for a counterfeiter to make if you think about it.
