So I sold most of my collection years ago, but after starting to play more magic recently, I wanted to VERY slowly through many, many, years gather a power 9 set as I see good deals through trades or online.

Then I remembered my buddy had two Moxes from way back and he stopped playing. So we worked out a deal and I bought them off him. They seem legit to me and I ran the usual tests (but I'm far from being expert). The tests seem okay, but the right side and bottom border (Between the picture and the white border) of the Mox Emerald isn't a sold line like it is on the mox ruby. I see the usual dot printing go slightly over. While the top and left sides are perfect. Mox Ruby has 4 solid sides. Is this a normal printing flaw in some cards?

He got these through trades at some convention ~5 years ago. Can you guys tell if these are real by the scans? Thanks in advance for any help!

Those are beautiful scans. Those Moxen are real.

Thanks for the comments! Feeling more secure after hearing both your views. Any suggestions on how to get that gunk off on the white border? Light pencil eraser?

Yes, that would work, or windex deluted. Dab a bit on paper towels and lightly brush the front, good at getting off random grime.
