DS cards printed on Sheet A* and B* should have a Bold 40th Anniversary logo on the back. You can see the sheet designation on the reverse of the card near the copyright logo at the bottom. So of the 6 sheets, approx. 33% of the cards will have a bold 40th Anniversary logo in bold red ink, assuming random distribution. Regarding the foil shield on the front, legit shields have come in both foil types ie gold and a more silverish foil. A number of the fake logos have wider shields or really fuzzy logos. However, the main tell on the best fake logos is the lowest palm leaf is shifted to the right or most often to the left.

On legit logos the palm leaf will come down between the letters R and A in the word "O P E R A T I O N".
