About time somebody started flooding the millennial nostalgia collectibles market with fakes.
You can buy a very convincing Black Lotus for $6 on aliexpress. I’ve thought about getting one and mounting it on the wall in a picture frame for fun.
I played Lorcana for a bit then realized you can get cards that look identical under a jewelers loupe for 1/10 of the price and I got out of it. A few months later the market price for all the cards cratered. I wonder why?
I've seen Magic the Gathering fakes that are higher quality than the real cards.
A lot of the really expensive cards are also foils, which for the card stock they use for English cards ends up warping quite a bit over time. I knew multiple people who refused to buy foils ever because of this.
A couple years back one of the original Pokemon TCG designers was outright printing off fakes of pre-release cards and peddling them with the help of a western company, and people only found out because they decoded printer patterns and found out they were printed with a recent printer.
My bright idea is to build a ccg using rfid bus fare cards as the base.
You can get plastic NFC cards. I bet there are companies that will print and program them.
It must be possible to have flexible paper-like cards because my city has one-time tickets with NFC. Game would be nicer with card stock and not rigid plastic.
Fwiw, AI is going to turn everything to shit.
Is hardware safe? I mean the circuit has to be correct to work kind of thing. I know embedded people do use AI to reverse engineer things/go through a lot of logs. I have also heard about AI designed chips but seems you have more regulations to go through for selling the resulting hardware.
Stolen or counterfeit. For people that don't know Yu-Gi-Oh $1M is a ludicrous number since Konami has and has had a very aggressive reprint policy. The value here entirely comes from the fact that it's an uncut sheet, I'd be surprised if anyone would pay that much for it.
On a side note in 2003 I opened a pack and one of the cards was just a piece of cardstock probably they just ran a few sheets through in off-impression mode and forgot about them
That's the card graveyard. I play Pot of Greed. It allows me to draw two cards. I've drawn Monster Reborn. It allows me to claim the stash
Pot of Greed is illegal, in America.
“ Pot of Greed is banned in official Yu-Gi-Oh! tournament play in America (TCG) and has been since 2005. It is deemed too powerful because it allows a player to draw two cards with no cost or restrictions, providing a free advantage in any deck. ”
Reminds me of how Black Vise and Demonic Tutor were handled before the introduction of different tournament modes like Legacy.
