I've just received my foil Mycosynth Lattice which was ordered from ebay. Just by holding the card in my hands I had a feeling that something is off, however, struggled to name what exactly is wrong. However, card seemed to pass lightning test and had no problems with paper look, feel and quality, which is a usual problem for fakes. It's also a foil from an old set with some authentic wear, which speaks to it's legibility a bit.
A bit later, by comparing the card to my other foil other cards of this era I recalled my experience with my friend's proxy Gaea's Cradle and have (as at seems to me) figured out that this is, unfortunately, a fake.
Before sending a message to a seller I have decided to consult with community. What to you think? Would appreciate your opinion. I will share my thoughts a bit later if needed.
Absolutely fake. Red tone all over, jagged black border lines which should not be there or modern cards. I stay away from Italian cards because I doubt mafia has its fingers in printing these since long time ago. Especially Legends set. Font is not right anywhere on this card, just everything is off as a whole.
Overall, Darksteel and Mirrodin are most counterfeited modern sets by far and by luck if you bought cards in that era, you can compare and see what I am talking about. As well, you need to check rosettes on that card, I know from personal experience that these sets dont have very pronounced rosettes.
