New Fakes Spotted!

Post by Mr.C » Fri Jun 03, 2005 1:04 am

So, while i was walking through downtown Rio today, i spotted a street seller selling 'Magig (sic) decks', for roughly US$5 apiece =/

Obviously fake, and here are the pics:

And, no, there were no 'foils'.

If it weren't for the corners, the fronts would look fairly good, as compared to most of the other fakes we've seen.

Once again, the sizing seems to to be an issue for card fakers ...

Mr.c

You should buy one or the one you have and send it in to WOTC Europe. They would like to know about this.

If you can get a deck to me and some names of where you purchased them I will be seeing wizards reps while at origins in 3 weeks.  

Let me know costs and I'll paypal you the money with shiping.

I think thier legal department would be very interested in these (especialy since the card fronts look so good.

as much info as you can get.  

I know it takes a while to ship, but if I get them before origins I can have them with me when I talk to the rep.

Origins is the last week in June
