FAKE YU GI OH CARDS

THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF YU GI OH CARDS ON EBAY BUT THERE ARE ALSO THOUSANDS OF FAKE YU GI OH CARDS ON EBAY TOO !

IF YOU SEE A RARE YU GI OH CARD ON EBAY CHECK ALL PICTURES AND ASK THE SELLER QUESTIONS BEFORE BUYING IT.

MANY SELLERS SELL MORE THAN ONE OF THE SAME CARD IN THEIR LIST OF ITEMS. IF THERE ARE 2 LISTINGS WITH THE SAME TITLE CHECK BOTH OF THEM AND SEE IF THE CARDS HAVE THE SAME NUMBERS AND CODES PRINTED ON THEM.IF THEY DO THEY ARE FAKE.

I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE BUYING 1ST EDITION EGYPTIAN GOD CARDS. WHAT THEY DONT REALISE IS THAT YOU CAN NOT GET A 1ST EDITION GOD CARD.

REAL YU GI OH CARDS ALSO HAVE A CODE ON THE RIGHT CORNER UNDER THE PICTURE THIS WILL ALWAYS START WITH A LETTER ON A GENUINE YU GI OH CARD . MANY FAKE YU GI OH CARDS START WITH A NUMBER.

AN EXAMPLE OF A GENUINE YU GI OH CARD STARTING WITH A LETTER IS: SKE-

THIS IS FROM A YU GI OH KIBA EVOLUTION STARTER DECK.

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A FAKE WHICH IS OFTEN PRINTED : 123-

ALWAYS MAKE SURE THERE IS A PICTURE OF THE BACK OF THE CARD.

GENUINE WILL HAVE A YU GI OH LOGO AND A KONAMI LOGO.

FAKE CARDS MAY JUST HAVE THE BACK GROUND BROWNY GOLD COLOUR.

MANY PEOPLE SELL FAKE RARE CARDS WHICH ARE SHINY ALL OVER THE CARD. THEY OFTEN HAVE THE ATK AND DEF IN A LITTLE BOX IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. THESE ARE FAKE .THE SHINY PART OF THE CARD IS MADE FROM SHINY STICKER PAPER OR STICKY BACK PLASTIC.

ALWAYS MAKE SURE WHEN YOU BUY A FIRST EDITION CARD IT HAS A GOLD SQUARE NOT SILVER IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER. IF IT IS NOT IT IS FAKE.

ALWAYS CHECK THE NAME ON THE CARD AND SPELLINGS MANY PEOPLE WHO MAKE FAKE CARDS CANNOT SPELL .

SOME PEOPLE PUT THE WRONG NAMES ON FAKE CARDS (HOW THICK) LIKE THE SLITHER THE SKY DRAGON CARD : INSTEAD OF PUTTING SLITHER THE SKY DRAGON THEY PUT THINGS LIKE :

ULTRA RED DRAGON , DRAGON OF GOD POWER, DRAGON SKY AND SKY DRAGON OF GODS ETC.

ALWAYS CHECK A SELLERS FEEDBACK IF THEY ARE SELLING YU GI OH CARDS LIKE EXODIA ETC.

A LOT OF SELLERS TAKE A PHOTO OF THE REAL ONES AND SEND YOU FAKE ONES.

ALWAYS READ THE ITEM DESCRIPTION SOME SELLERS PUT "RARE CARD RANDOM LOT" WITH A PICTURE OF EXODIA AND SLITHER THE SKY DRAGON ,WINGED DRAGON OF RA AND OBOLICK THE TORMENTOR. MANY PEOPLE BID AS SOON AS THEY SEE THE PICTURE.WHEN IT SAYS IN THE ITEM DESCRIPTION THAT THE CARDS IN THE PICTURE ARE EXAMPLES ETC.

A LOT OF FAKE CARDS LOOK SLIGHTLY LIGHTER OR DARKER THAN GENUINE CARDS.

ALWAYS CHECK THE LOGO ON THE FRONT TOP RIGHT CORNER NEXT TO THE CARD NAME IF IT SAYS SOMETHING LIKE "POWER" OR "LAND" OR "ULTRA" ETC IT IS FAKE .

THE MAIN PARTS OF THE CARDS THAT CAN NOT BE FAKED IS THE LITTLE SILVER SQUARE ATTHE BOTTOM OF THE CARD . A GENUINE YU GI OH CARD WILL HAVE EQYPTIAN SIGNS AND LOGOS ON THE SILVER SQUARE BUT A FAKE WILL JUST BE A SILVER STICKER.

I KNOW ALL THESE BECAUSE I HAVE BOUGHT FAKE CARDS AND SWAPPED MY GENUINE FOR FAKES ACCIDENTLY IN THE PAST.

I WAS REALLY INTERESTED IN YU GI OH ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND I WAS ALWAYS TRYING TO GET RARE CARDS LIKE EXODIA.

I DID COME ACROSS A PERSON AT A SCHOOL CLUB WHO TRADED ME FAKE EXODIA CARDS FOR MY GEUINE RARE CARDS THAT I HAD SPENT LOADS OF MONEY ON

I AM WRITING THIS GUIDE ON MY DADS EBAY ACCOUNT BECAUSE I AM NOT OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE ONE MY SELF.

I AM CONSTANTLY LOOKING AT YU GI OH CARDS , GAMES,MEMORY STICKS AND POKEMON CARDS TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY NEW VERSIONS OF FAKE YU GI OH CARDS ETC THAT LOOK VERY CLOSE TO THE GENUINE ONES.

BY THE WAY DO NOT BUY POKEMON CHAOS BLACK MY FRIEND BOUGHT IT FROM SKEGGY MARKET (SKEGNESS) AND IT IS CRAP!

I HOPE YOU FOUND THIS GUIDE USEFULL
