Echte Referenz: original Lightning Bolt (Limited Edition Alpha, 1993). Vergleiche deine Karte mit einem geprüften echten Scan wie diesem — achte auf sharp, evenly weighted text with correct spacing and clean, well-defined mana symbols. Eine Fälschung zeigt stattdessen: text that is too bold or too thin, uneven spacing, fuzzy edges, or mana symbols with the wrong proportions or colors.

Schritt für Schritt

  1. 1Read the card name and rules text at a glance — does the weight look right?
  2. 2Compare spacing and letter shapes against a genuine card of the same era.
  3. 3Inspect the mana symbols for crisp edges and correct color.
  4. 4Use a loupe on the small artist and copyright line at the bottom.
  5. 5Flag fuzzy or mis-weighted text.

Warum es wichtig ist

Fonts have changed across eras, so compare against the right period. Strong when combined with the print test.
