Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Black Lotus is real?
Black Lotus is classified as high counterfeit risk: Unlimited Black Lotus is faked nearly as often as Beta despite the white border. Check the print quality and cardstock (real cards have a distinctive blue inner core visible from the edge), the rosette pattern on the back, the security stamp on planeswalker / mythic cards from recent sets, and confirm the collector number and set code match the official Scryfall record. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
What is Black Lotus worth?
