I recently ordered Magic: The Gathering cards from printingproxies expecting decent product. What arrived were obvious counterfeits with extremely poor quality across the board.

The print quality was unacceptable. Images and text appeared blurry and grainy, with washed-out colors and soft details. These cards look nothing like authentic Magic cards, even from a short distance.

The texture and feel were equally bad. The card stock has a strange, cheap, plasticky texture that feels wrong in hand. There’s no premium coating or proper finish — just low-grade material that immediately stands out as fake.

Shuffling performance was another major issue. The cards shuffle like garbage. They feel stiff, don’t fan or glide properly, and have a rough, sticky quality that makes handling unpleasant. Real Magic cards have a very specific smooth feel and shuffle behavior — these have none of it.

Not only are the cards counterfeit, but the overall production quality is genuinely terrible. This isn’t minor imperfection; this is low-effort, low-quality fakes being sold to customers.

Strong warning: Stay far away from printingproxies. The site sells fake cards with blurry printing, weird texture, and terrible shuffling feel. Whether you’re a collector or player, there is no reason to risk your money or collection with this seller.

Save yourself the disappointment and look elsewhere for legitimate cards.
