Trying to figure out if this Expeditions Scalding Tarn is real or fake. I have the opportunity to get it for 60 bucks along with a collection of a few bulk rares. Now I know the price would usually be a dead give away but the guy that has the cards knows it's not exactly a cheap card but does not play the game so he has no need for them. I'm trying to figure out if it's fake. I feel it is but it passed the bend test other than it felt a little harder to bend than a normal card. It passed the light test and appears to have the right ink patterns. Now here is what it gets tricky. It doesn't feel like a regular foil card on the front it doesn't really have a texture it more so smooth to the touch like the whole card on the front feels like the black borders of the masterpiece cards and it doesn't make sense to me.It is foil and it looks correct it has the holo stamp at the bottom aswell. Was the foiling done different on the Expedition cards that made them smooth or something? It almost seems like it's been laminated on the front or something but it has a regular back.
