I acknowledge those problems, but ultimately my position is: cool idea with misjudged rate (Backgrounds are superior)
The main reasons I felt comfortable purchasing them were: The cards feel authentic (surface texture and typical stiffness/flex) The 1st Edition stamp does not appear to be printed on top of the card All four cards passed a basic light test (using my iPhone 15 flashlight) From the side, the cards show an authentic-looking layered core (greyblackgrey) The text on all cards is crisp and clean HP font, lack of shadow (shadowless), copyright line (including dates), energy symbol placement, etc
The choice between whether to run one of these, or Ayli, is ultimately still undecided for me as I havent finished the deck building process
