Looks like the new batch has arrived in Brazil. His ML auction was already taken down:

I ordered 3 random cards of what is apparently the latest batch of fakes to hit our tormented market, from a New Zealand seller. This batch includes FBB German duals and the usual stuff like Tarmo, Lily, Jace and fetchlands. I will post photos and/or scans once they arrive.
From his or her own photos, some but not all of those counterfeits appear to have a very thin upper border.
Hi guys,
I just received 2 Portuguese Terminus I ordered some days ago.
They looked fine but when I tried to double sleeve them they didn't fit. I compared them with regular ones and they were sightly bigger.
It's dificult to get a photo but when you have them in front of you it's clear that they are bigger.
Then I became paranoid and started to see ink marks in the portuguese ones, a different pattern in the printing and the cards look a bit thinner.
The thing that really worries me it's the size, is that concluyent proof that they are fake? Or size may vary a little? Note than I compared them to english Terminus, not a Beta Lightning bolt. Same edition, just diferent lenguage.
Thanks

remember guys that wizards use different printing company in different countries with cards of different languages.
If we start freaking out on a 10 $ card i can see we have a problem.
And the only people that gain advantage in this situation are big sellers like SGC which they have built client's trust.
Now if a private seller (me, you!?) wants to sell his cards and make money out of it will be harder.
I don't see this being a problem for legacy. People don t buy proxies because they are cheaper. People buy proxies because they cant afford legacy staples.
And yes, guys, printing proxies is such a good business right now. I personally believe the effect on the market will be minimum unless somebody find a way to create perfect replica.
The only way i feel we can buy with confidence is becoming skilled in detecting them( paper, colour, corners, pixels, weight)
Cheers
http://22v.en.alibaba.com/product/94...ame_cards.html sell mtg proxys hd quality is back , I notified Wizards but would like some help meaning if you guys can glean info)\\
about Portuguese Termius , its Delson new Brazilian supplier so if you could pm me photos ( I appreciate it)
It's obviously not that I'm worried about losing 5€ in 2 cards, come on.
The reason for my post in first place was to ask if diferent size was concluyent proof, as everyone could check if they cards were fake by using Perfect size sleeves.
And also to show that maybe believing only English cards will be fake may be wrong. Scammers are not silly, they probably read these threads.
I made some photos but again it's much harder to see it in them.
Also, the feeling of the card is just wrong. The size, the weight, the patterns... just by having it face to face you notice something is wrong. That's why I believe they are fakes but may be that all portugese cards are a bit diferent.
The other Terminus is in Spanish. Sometimes English cards have better quality than foreign cards, so I used a Spanish one for the comparision.
Ignore the purple spots, it's my phone's camara which is a bit damaged.
