So lately i've been getting FBB duals lands and so far i had 2 U Seas, 1 Bayou and a Volcanic Island.

Today i recieved 3 Tropical Islands. They feel different, flimsy rather. When i hold them in my hand they feel like they bend more easily (actually it feels like my beta lands). When i flick the other duals, they feel more sturdy. They look legit though. Is this a usual thing? Did the printing process end up with many variations? Or might i have gotten ripped here?

EDIT: I also felt like i could feel differences in some of the other duals, does anyone has different FBB duals and can tell me if this is the case?

NVM: Also recieved a Taiga today, from a different source, seems like it's the same quality. I believe it's just a very unreliable printing process. If anyone believes otherwise let me know :D

If a mod wants to delete this, he can :)

The light test is a great way to identify fakes. Just take comparable cards you are reasonably sure are real, shine a bright light through them (I use my car's headlights :tongue:) and compare the way light shines through them.
