Title: Duplicate rares from EOF booster box/Fake Cards?
Post by: Alatar on March 24, 2014, 05:59:45 AM

Hi guys,

I've just opened an Ents of Fangorn Booster Box for my youtube channel, and I pulled a couple of duplicate rares. I'm slightly concerned the cards might be fake, as I don't think you should be able to pull duplicate rares from the same box, and I got 4 or 5. The box was sealed with Decipher cellophane, has a serial number (5598) and the packs all look and feel genuine.

Is there something I'm missing here? Would appreciate any help on this!

Thanks!

Nah, it's not unusual to sometimes get bad distributions with a box.

Thanks!

Out of interest do you/anyone know if anyone ever bothered making counterfeit cards? I wouldn't think so because I don't think these early sets were ever valuable enough to bother, but maybe I'm wrong?

I've never heard of counterfeit cards for this. It seems like it would be too much trouble for what someone could get for them.
