The Rip Test: The Blue Core Line (Last Resort)

Tearing a card reveals its inner core. Genuine cards show a distinctive blue-black line; this destroys the card, so it is only for worthless commons.

Achtung: This permanently destroys the card. Never rip a card you do not own or one with any value.

Was dieser Test prüft

The inner core layer between the two paper faces, which is blue-black on genuine cards.

Vergleiche deine Karte mit einem geprüften echten Scan wie diesem — achte auf a clear blue-black line running through the middle of the torn edge. Eine Fälschung zeigt stattdessen: no blue line, a grey or white core, or a single solid layer instead of the layered structure.

A clear blue-black line running through the middle of the torn edge.

Fälschung sieht so aus

No blue line, a grey or white core, or a single solid layer instead of the layered structure.

Schritt für Schritt

  1. 1Only ever do this on a bulk common you are willing to destroy.
  2. 2Tear the card across one corner.
  3. 3Look at the torn edge from the side.
  4. 4Check for a blue-black core line between the paper layers.
  5. 5Use what you learn to calibrate the non-destructive light test.

Warum es wichtig ist

Definitive proof of the core layer — but it destroys the card. Use it to learn, then rely on the light test for valuable cards.
