So recently I got the chance to pick up a Unlimited Black Lotus.
Of course i took the offer, but I'm on the fence it's real or not.
The card in question is slightly darker than a Unlimited The Rack. It passed the bend, water, and light tests. It shows dithering on the mana symbol. But the "Mono Artifact" and illustrator's name are slightly blurry, along with the card name.
I believe it's real, and so did a level 2 judge at my LGS, but I still have my doubts
(Oh, it also smells like a magic card)
That pic is kinda terrible for determining authenticity. Don't suppose we can get a high res scan, rosette examination would be important with this thing, because honestly, that pic makes it look like it was printed on a plain old inkjet (I seriously doubt it, pretty sure that's just a terrible picture, but I don't think we can form an opinion off of it)

I compared the pic to a real Lotus, I have at hand, but as I laways have trouble with attached pics on this site, I only had a small pic, which looked pretty suspect, partially due to the condition of the card, as it looks pretty much unplayed and those are few and far betwen these days.
If you can get a good scan with hopefully minimum of 600 dpi quality, we can be much more accurate.
