5.2 Just As Good Fake 4th Edition Armageddon
| This 4th edition Armageddon I aquired in a trade. I don't know how many other
cards were in the bunch, but I've received 31 of them to date, mostly commons.
I passed over this card 3 times before I noticed it looked funny. What i noticed
first was that it was dated 1995 (4th edition), but the ink was more similar to
that of a 5th edition card. |
Upon closer inspection I found that it was a high resolution inkjet print. When
compared to a real card it was easy to tell they had used a completely different
printing process.

FAKE |
| Here's another image of how the printing process differed. This is a section
of the artwork near the sun. The real card (left) exhibits the familiar dithering that can be seen on real cards.
The fake (right) does not. |
| The corners of this card were also too nicely cut and rounded. They were not chopped
like a real card. Through further inspection I was also able to rule out the possibility of this being an
Alternate 4th card. |
