I am not as good at fake detection with the naked eye as I thought I was. However, I do have a loupe and a hand-held blacklight. Hard to get around modern printing, modern cardboard density, and fluorescence. In my last big trade, these tools were utilized by me and my trade partner. We did it at a fast food burrito restaurant, going back and forth to the men's bathroom checking cards. Everyone thought it was curious and interesting what we were doing. Both he and I walked away satisfied that what we traded for was very real.
