Is this card a counterfeit?
I ordered a holo card lot on amazon (which by the way I don't recommend. What the hell am I going to do with 7 Berserker Crushes and 5 AOJ Clausolas???)and one of the cards I got was an Ultimate Rare Option Hunter.
An oddity I noticed was that although the Trap Icon was embossed as it should be, the picture looked like that of an Ultra Rare card. (No emboss)
I thought at first that english Ultimate Rares don't have the picture emboss, but I remembered that the Ultimate Rare Chain Burst I had back home had an embossed picture.
Is the Option Hunter fake? Everything else seems to check out but I've heard of Upperdeck's stupid attempt to counterfeit their own cards, so I'm worried.

That card SHOULD have an embossed picture so im leaning towards it being a counterfeit bro. Sorry. But it could be a card that didn't get the finish but i highly doubt that. im saying should and leaning towards the counterfeit side.

Option hunter was not made in ultra rare, so if it has the gold name, but isn't hollowed out, then it is a fake

here's the option hunter in question.

Also I noticed two of the other Super Rares I got at the same time looked odd: the entire card seemed to have the holo coating, instead of just the pictures.
Are these suspect also?

That option hunter is real
you can tell it is ultimate rare because the trap symbol is shinny as well as the added foil around the sides
does it have a password at the bottom, and a thing that says "1996 kazuki takahasi" or something like that

Thats the best looking fake card in the world if it is. Easily real, and definitely tournament legal.
Re: Is this card a counterfeit?
Actually, I would say it is real merely because of how good it looks. Look, if someone could counterfeit cards that well, they would be making Warnings and Tour Guides, not Option Hunters.
