Cardz Drake & Rager...Hmmmm...Are these real?

Post by chaosdjinn » Sun Sep 07, 2014 6:35 am

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Are these real? Comparing them to the images on Librarities, I think they look slightly different and may be inauthentic.

REAL on the Left, Fake on the right

Not so easy to see from the scans provided by the seller

I know. My sense, based on the magnification on eBay, is that I'm going to avoid picking these up.

I try my best to determinate if the ones shown are real, but it's really not easy, I think the best will be to ask the seller for better scans and straight ones, in case they are real, the price is really cheap.

The Rager definitely looks like the fake one, I can't tell so much on the Drake, as the differences in the lettering are not as obvious, and the pic of the Drake isn't the best. You could ask for a zoomed in pic of the cardz logo to be sure.

Ok, early morning without a coffee, it's not the best timing to check for a Fake :wink: Now, I can say that the Silver Drake is a Fake.

On a Real Silver Drake, the position of the the Card Z logo is not straight but going up on the right, doesn't look the same on the one shown from that seller.

Thanks, Alexis. Safe to say that these are to be avoided.
