Counterfeit Slifer Yu-Gi-Oh Card
Posted on November 19, 2006 in Graphics by Jeff Starr
Recently, my son traded three common Yu-Gi-Oh cards for the coveted Slifer god card. He was very excited, thinking he worked the deal of a lifetime. Indeed, Slifer cards sell for around $35.00 apiece, depending on the dealer. Nonetheless, trading three worthless cards for a Slifer god card seemed like a phenomenal deal..
What we discovered next nearly dropped us to the floor — the Slifer card was a counterfeit! Within moments of checking it out, Mom immediately recognized the unusual coloring, odd syntax, and heavy gloss on the card. Upon closer examination, many errors were discovered — spelling mistakes, missing graphics, and misaligned text — all pointing to one inescapable reality: an illegitimate Slifer card!
Amazed by the idea that someone would actually produce a fake Slifer card, I quickly confiscated the card and began scrutinizing the details. After studying the card, carefully comparing it to other Yu-Gi-Oh cards and several legitimate Slifer cards (via dealer sites, etc.), the extremely poor quality of the counterfeit became laughably obvious. This is sad for at least two reasons. First, it is sad that there are scumbags who steal from children. Second, it is sad that a counterfeiter would perform such an absolutely pathetic rendition of the very popular Slifer Yu-Gi-Oh god card.
Nonetheless, discovering and studying the counterfeit card provided such a thrill that we thought others might benefit from a critical online analysis. Hopefully, this article will serve as a reference for others to compare against in order to avoid the purchase or trade of other fake Yu-Gi-Oh cards. If nothing else, we hope that you will enjoy a hearty laugh upon discovering the amateur nature of this particular counterfeit.

The brand name, "KONAMI" and registered symbol (R) missing from upper-left corner( apparently, authentic god cards display neither brand name nor registered symbol on the back of the card. )Trademark signature (TM) missing from Yu-Gi-Oh logo in lower-right corner( apparently, authentic god cards do not display a trademark signature on the back of the card. )- Front of card lacks proper card gloss — surface similar to paper
- Colorization is too pale, or otherwise inaccurate
We hope this article is helpful to someone. If you have other examples of counterfeit Yu-Gi-Oh cards, we would love to hear about them. Update: new article posted highlighting Deana’s experience with a counterfeit Slifer card she had purchased on eBay (Originally posted on: 03/05/2008).
Not a huge deal, but I did notice at work (I’m a toy department manager) that the first card in a package of Yu-Gi-Oh cards we carry contained a very obvious misspelled word. At this point, I can’t recall the card or the word, but the spelling thing isn’t unique to counterfeits. :)
Interesting (although not too surprising)..
If you get another chance with such a card, jot down the mispelled word, card name, etc.. — or better yet, throw down a tuf scan or photocopy and hook us up.. :)
You are all yugioh nerds. Who cares about this stuff.
Why would you try to study it it’s obvious it’s fake you nerds. What parents go through so much anyways to find a fake card I mean you should have quit this game along time ago. Geez, i wonder how long your son will play it.
By far, one of our most enlightening comments here at Perishable Press.. Thank you, jack frei, for amusing us all with your incredible wisdom.
Thanks for the article, Mr. Frei comments aside, this is useful for us nerds that continue to play the game. It seems a well branded dept store just sold me some fakes and I am researching to reinforce my claim. Now is that not worth pursuing. Thanks again Perishable.
Definitely worth pursuing..
Us nerds would be very interested to hear more of your experiences with this as the process unfolds.. Keep us in the loop!
I returned the cards to the well branded dept store in Thailand and incredibly the sales immediately said, yes these are copies and If I wanted the real cards, I need to pay double. They offered a one to one swop but I preferred to buy them where I know what I am getting. Being a well known store they immediately gave us our money back with no questions asked. It is not comforting to know there are formal channels to get these fakes to market and then onto sites like ebay. Thanks again for the guide to spotting fakes, this and the fact that my son said there is no such card as “Super Vehicle Drill” convinced me to return the cards.
sent this to the branded dept. store and Upper Deck, the email bounced to the store (I have resent) be interested in the response or lack of…
Dear Siam Paragon,
I recently purchase the captioned at the Paragon store’s toy department and after some investigation found that the product was indeed fake. Upon returning the product to the store the salesman without hesitation said it was a copy. I was given a full refund and without any questions asked.
While I appreciate the customer service at your store, I am quite taken back that you would be selling fake and illegal toys. As one of many foreigners/vacationers that visit your store and pay a premium for your products, I find this totally unacceptable. I am sure upon hearing of this, the situation would be corrected.
My intent in this email is not to bring publicity to this situation but to suggest to yourself and Upperdeck to be more vigorous in preventing such products to reaching the consumer.
Regards, Allen Kwan
"Super Vehicle Drill" — that’s hilarious!! I am not surprised that the store reacted as it did — nobody wants the Konami suits suing the family business. It almost sounds as if the store may be in on the scam, scoring cheap, counterfeit Yu-Gi-Oh cards on the side and then reselling them at full market price. I would not buy any more cards from their store(s), nor would I trust any of the cards already purchased as being legitimate..
How sad it is that there are unscrupulous bastards out there that insist on beating the system by ripping people off and stealing from children. Sadder still that their illegal business of choice doesn’t seem to rake in enough cash to hire a halfway decent counterfeit artist. Utterly pathetic.
Nonetheless, thank you for sharing this insightful information with us. Let us know if anything else develops. Good luck!
Best regards,
Jeff
Dear Jeff,
My email to the store bounced three times, at first I surmised that it was due to the recent ban of Google services, Gmail and YouTube for putting unpleasant video’s of the Thai King on the web but I tried from Hotmail as well and it also bounced (so ???). I got a response from Upper Deck, it is as follows:
“Upper Deck does not sell counterfeit cards. Upper Deck does have a team set up the follows up on the information that is provided to them by our customers. I would highly recommend that you visit our Fraud Investigation Page (www.upperdeck.com/fraud). On that site you will be able to locate the contact information for our Fraud Investigation Team.”
I replied that I will file a case.
In restropect, I was going just eat the cost and not waste another half day at the store to get a refund, but in looking at my son’s reaction, it seem the right thing to do. We were offered a store credit but everything was 200 to 300% more then what I know the price to be. As I walked out of the dept. store at the same level and there was the Lamborghini, Maserati, Lotus, and Jaguar dealership and it was then that I thought at least I should inform the store on what they were selling (the thoughts of your comment about someone suing the family business crossed my mind).
See what happens.
This is really fascinating stuff.. I wonder why the email to the store bounced. Smells like firewall to me, but it could be a super-strength spam filter or something similar. If you have their mailing address, you could always send them a quick note through the mail, although your efforts are perhaps better focused on Upper Deck, as they are most likely in a much better position to actually do something about it..
The response from Upper Deck (UD) sounds like a typical "It’s-not-our-fault-there’s-nothing-we-can-do" automated-type of defense. Too bad. Looking at their fraud page, it appears as if they realize how significant the Yu-Gi-Oh counterfeit problem has become:
You would think that the UD suits would take advantage of the opportunity to reach out, help their customers, and work with the media to educate consumers about the situation. Perhaps children, parents, and collectors would stop buying so many Yu-Gi-Oh cards if they realized that so many of them were fake. Regardless, I am stoked to hear that you will be filing a case. Good luck with it!
Jeff
Jeff, nothing has comeback so I can assume that UD is doing somthing but I gather is does take time and money to do so. Re. super spam filter, my question, why set this up for your customer service email? Good way to avoid compliants. Feel free to try
Contactus@siamparagon.co.th
Yeah, that email address is bogus. My test emails didn’t even make it to their front door. Do they have it publicly listed somewhere (online)? I haven’t checked for a website yet.. Either way, I think the UD situation is far more relevant. Even though it may take centuries for them to respond, I am looking forward to hearing more about the case as it unfolds..
Hmm…. if you one to check sometimes you can see on the lower right corner of the card which there is square thing on it but the false one won’t have , to see if it is real the square should be silver and there must be no 1st edition on the picture below or you also can know if it is real by seeing the square is gold but have 1st edition then is real
Dear Jeff,
I did another followup with UD with no response. I gather this is a small case not pursuing.
Having come back from China recently, I can see where “copies” can have a positive purpose. This is where local kids get to engage in intersting games at local prices. From what I saw virtually everything is copied which then brings a demand among the more affluent for the real stuff. It doesn’t explain or justify the copies in a high end dept store at Siam Paragon.
I will be going to Thailand shortly, be interesting if the same goods are on sales.
HKdaddy
Thanks for the tip, Jonathan!
HKdaddy,
So are you going to drop the case or continue pursuing? Sounds like Upper Deck is ignoring their customers (again). I think you should send another copy of your letter to UD, and then another, and another, and… Then again, perhaps it’s just not worth the time, effort, and money to do so. I would not be surprised if a majority of big business completely disregarded customer service (complaints, tech help, etc.) as a way of increasing profits. Anyway, sorry for the rant..
I totally understand your point about the potential usefulness of counterfeit cards. Unfortunately, I would imagine that the entire process is a bit of a vicious circle: high-priced originals lure the counterfeiters into business, counterfeit cards then reduce legitimate sales, so the original manufacturers must then elevate prices to accommodate for the loss.. lather, rinse, repeat..
The whole thing is just a mess, really. But it is what it is, in either case. Nonetheless, I think it is great that “local kids” also receive opportunities to share in the fun, whether it be cards, games, software, music - whatever! Very neat, indeed.
Have a great trip to Thailand - let us know how it goes..
Regards,
Jeff
yu gi oh cards are always facked all my mates have fakes and i want somneone 2 get rid of them as they are anoying as all my friends have them . so i say get rid of them for good.
Amen to that, kk123254!
Im afraid this is nothing in comparison to some of the counterfeit cards produced…
This one is obviously fake.
But some out there are really well done, including everything the original has, such as the holo symbol at the bottom right corner.
If you find a genuine god card with a spelling error, that’s 100% official, it’s worth quite a lot of money believe it or not.
So don’t always discard a card as fake right away (except when it’s as obvious as with this one).
thanks!this helped cause i couldnt know if my god card which i got on ebay for 8 bucks was real or not and it turned out it was real!
Sounds like you got a sweet deal there, Alec! Glad you found the article useful. Thanks for the feedback!
Yeah it was a good deal and currently my mom is winning me 440+ yugioh cards on ebay for me!it also comes with a tin i hope she wins em i already have 480
Good for you, Alec! Let us know if you stumble upon anything that looks fishy as you grow your collection. Cheers!
i have i just went on ebay and i found this person selling exodia and it was all fake so i hope no one buys from him:) and i just created a deck its awesome!
yes it is fake and i would find it hard to beleive that it would be that easy to get a god card. I have all 3 of the real god cards and i worked very hard to get them so anyone that does that does not know the work people go through to get real rare cards. I thank you for your consern on helping us yugioh fans out on fake cards. if you want anything else to say email me at ssj4bankai@yahoo.com
Thank you for the feedback, KAKz. I agree with you completely. Especially with all of the counterfeit cards, it is extremely difficult to obtain a complete set of the god cards. Nevertheless, I am glad that Yu-Gi-Oh fans continue to find this article useful.
yes it is true to get a set of the god cards. and it gets harder caz now there are fake god cards that can appear to be real to many people. they look almost real exepted for the fackt that
1. they say first edtition, god cards are not first edition
2. the atribute says gold, a real god card says divine.
3. on the botton of a real god card it says this card cannot be used in a duel.
4. it is fake because people sail a set for 15 dollars.
5. the most important a set of real god cards comes in a silver package and if there not in a package or a shownin jump then they are fake.
i paid 100 dollars for my set from a real shop that sells them.
Excellent tips — thank you for sharing them with us!
sure thing anything to help out yugioh fans
Mine is real except the part that says it cant be used in duel i think and also…im not using my yu-gi-oh cards for a while cause im using my skyrail rollercoaster set
the god card must say this card cannot be used in a duel.
how much did u pay for the cards
Actcually i just found it on the god card i payed 8 bucks
wow thats really interesting. who would sail a god card for 8 bucks. unless it was a used one. how many did u get 1 or the hole set.
Help! My site has been hijacked by Yu-Gi-Oh fans!! :)
It was 1 card
coll thatz a good prize. witch one is it is it abelisk, ra, or slither.
obelisk is my favorite one
Obliesk:)
Lol it is easy to create fakee cards yugiohcardmaker.net lol easy then just taske a screenshot and resize then lol print it out and stick it on old card easy to make but alot easy to buy.
Yes, that sounds easy, but as anyone with even an iota of experience within the scrutinizingly articulate and detail-oriented world of desktop publishing will tell you, it’s a little more complicated than that, especially if you intend to convince retailers and dealers to buy your spoofed turds. For example, decent printing requires a decent color-laser printer and card-matte paper. Then, cropping the prints to fit the card base requires great precision. If you are planning on faking more than one or two hundred cards, this process needs to be automated to make the whole operation worthwhile. Even then, you aren’t done yet, because you also need to reproduce the reverse side of the card. Your site may work well for hobbyist purposes, but would almost seem counterproductive to a serious counterfeiter, especially if they are serious enough to automate the process with their own gear.
I’m the creator of the Yugioh Card Maker website, and I just wanted to let everyone know that it was never intended to be used to create counterfeit cards, and as Perishable said before, it would probably be counterintuitive to a real counterfeiter. While I tried to make the cards look as real as possible, the resolution is small enough (and because the text isn’t printed separately from the image) that if one tried to print it out, it would look just like that - a card that had been printed out from the internet.
Hello YCMaker, thanks for clarifying that your site is not intended for Yugioh counterfeiting. Excellent point about the screen-resolution images — that fact alone should eliminate any confusion about the purpose of your site.
By the way, I like your site and think it would be very keen to be able to browse a gallery of successfully generated cards. There may already be something like that, but I didn’t happen to see it during my visit..
The site rocks but its not meant to be making fakes like you two said
haha i once found a TRAP card with STARS and ATK and DEF values! counterfeiters are stupid, and even stupider
(unless of course you’re a kid and get tricked by some sunnuva)
Insanity reigns! Fortunately, professional counterfeiters tend to focus on mediums other than trading cards.. :)
Yeah, I just got a counterfeit FMR-001 Red-Eyes Black Metal Dragon in the mail. When I contacted the seller about it, she swore up and down that it was a legit card because her grandson said so. But the way the card looks, I mean, how could you NOT notice? D=
That’s hilarious, Koneko! You should send me a scan so I can post it online! ;)
I remember these cards. Heck, the descriptions of the card and the attributes are very laughable, I have to say. Those idiots, thinking that they can fool many kids because they’re selling “real” cards.
Well, here’s another incentive to teach our kids to learn correct spelling from a young age! We certainly hate to see them getting ripped off. :(
I think a clue to it’s origin is the mis-spelling of “divine”. “Dibine” hints that the counterfeiter is of Spanish speaking origin, because in Spanish, there is no difference in the sound of “v” and “b”. Thus, mixing these letters up is a common spelling mistake of native Spanish speakers.
Absolutely, Craig — every little bit helps, especially where education is concerned ;) Also, great insight about the misspelling of “Dibine”.. it certainly opens the gates to a whole new perspective as to the origin and background of the counterfeit card. Thanks for the info!
this same thing happend to me recently but instead of trading cards for it i bought it for like $50.what a waist of money
It is such a tragedy that we must be on the look out at all times for the counterfeiting of anything these days.
You are making several positives from this one negative, which is awesome, this will last a long time in your son’s young mind and a lesson well learned. This will save him time and money in the years ahead in his lifetime, or let us hope so anyway!
I have to say that I am impressed that the creator of these extremely popular cards made and took the time to comment on your post!
The misspellings aren’t unique to fakes, but they are a lot rarer. I’m really not sure which genius over there in Asia put’s out these counterfeits, but you’d think they’d at least get the spelling right.
@Dr Saxe: I agree wholeheartedly. It takes a real lowlife to prey upon innocent children. As you say, however, lessons have been learned and we are all a bit wiser having gone through the experience. Thanks for the comment!
I got a good counterfiet for $10 that looks exactly like Slifer from a seller called blinksale (I’m warning that name) on eBay. Problems are, whole glossy card, commas are too close, back is orange instead of red (there are no logos on back of god cards). Hey it fools everyone, (even the store owner of my local cardshop who couldn’t tell it from the real Slifer till he got his book). Now what?
I totally feel your pain, FlareKR. Even the most observant collectors get burned on occasion. As James says on the other counterfeit Yu-Gi-Oh post, “if you think the deal is too good to be true, it is.” Surely the $10-dollar price tag raised an eyebrow before you made the purchase. In any case, you have the card, it isn’t real, oh well. Without trying to sound rude, I say chalk it up as a “lesson learned” and get on with your life. Whatever you do, don’t try to resell it on eBay! ;)
i have a slifer with a different number under the picture YMA-EN001
instead of G4-01 and the bottom left corner, the japanese is english. is this reel or fake?

i got a yugioh game that came with all 3 god cards and the back did not say yugioh or konami and my or real so please change your mistake
Hi avery, I appreciate your concern over the accuracy of this analysis; however, as you can see, many Yu-Gi-Oh enthusiasts have examined this post and seem to agree on its current level of accuracy. Are you sure that your cards are genuine? And, if so, how did you verify their legitimacy? Please help us to understand the situation. Thanks and regards!
i didnt say the whole was real i it said nothing or had colors on the back, i just said real cards have different colors on the back (Slifer red, Ra yellow …), and say nothing on the back.
@avery, @alex: Thank you both (and others) for pointing this out. I have updated both of the Yu-Gi-Oh articles on this site to reflect this information. Thanks for your help! :)
my cards are real because it came in the yugioh world wide edition and if u buy one u will see it is the exact one when u put above to showing the differents from a real god card and a fake on
ps a god card can say the text at the bottom in english in sted of jappenese the jappenese one is from the world wide game the exact one i have
@avery: thanks for the update! As you can see, the article has been updated to reflect the correct information. Cheers! :)
First,I would like to say that I also purchased a set of the “error” YuGiOh God cards from a seller on eBay. I was not certain of the authenticity of this set of cards at the time of purchase. However, I did know that God Cards DO NOT have ANY logos on the back. I also figured that since most websites for YuGiOh Cards charge more than tripple for Authentic cards, that I was making a purchase for something less. I am not defending people for selling this set of cards while saying they are authentic. The seller I purchased from NEVER said the cards were REAL. I guess what I am trying to say, is that it doesn’t take a “rocket scientist” to figure out, that if you are purchasing a set of “anything” for less than 1/3 normal cost…it is NOT going to be the REAL deal. I purchased them at a lower cost so that I did not have to worry about the children messing them up.
To conclude, I feel as though the buyer needs to take responsiblity for the purchase as well as ANY/ALL sellers that tell the public that the cards ARE authentic when they aren’t.
I’m sorry about this. How is your son? Is he ok? Just tell him that soon or later the person who trade this cards will have his own dissaopintment and he will loose more than just 3 cards.
Ha, I actually have a counterfeit silfer card from quite a few years ago (i was unaware at the time). It’s worse than the one you have here, for example:
.) The title on the card simply says ‘Dragon-Sky’
.) This is the description of the card: At the moment of sky’s thunder slowly became chaos. The string lock tied a archaian leading book of blackart . Inside it show-off limitless divinity’s power.
If you can translate gibberish into english, please give it a try.
Just to enlighten everyone a bit further.
Every “Egyptian god card” (Slifer, Obelisk, Ra) is a counterfeit.
Konami never actually printed any legal cards, thus why you’ll never see one in a Tournament, or any event put on by them or anyone associated with them.
Just thought I’d point that out.
If you end up with a counterfeit card (s) it depends on where you are playing and who with. Obviously, tournaments won’t allow them.
I buy my cards from a little asian dollar store in packs (sometimes). They cost a lot less.
My friends let me play with those, as long as they are random from a starter or booster pack and the wording makes sense. They wouldn’t allow me to use a single, powerful fake card, if I bought it separately.
These cards are also not for use in trading, unless the people you play with have similar cards.
Also- I sold a huge lot of MTG cards on Ebay a few years ago (all real) and a bunch of YU Gi Oh cards (wasn’t sure how many were ‘real’) However, in regard to the Yu Gi Oh, I did point out that they looked like they were made for another country, wasn’t sure of the authenticity (the all said konami- should they be upper deck? can’t remember), but all of the YU Gi Oh I sold at least made sense in regard to the wording for casual playing.
if you play casually, with friends, and the wording makes sense, it shouldn’t really matter. But, just be careful if you are trading (make sure the recipient knows it might not be real if you have the better card or don’t give away your fave card (s) if you aren’t sure what you are getting is ‘real’).
never glossy cards…I have a Slifer it has reddish brown back, does not say yugioh on it(original)Obelisk has blue back…again no yugioh tm on back and winged dragon of ra has goldish back no yugio tm hope this helps
(Sources): I have all three cards and have prior years of experience playing yugioh when I was little
I acquired 3 Egyptian God cards, but I recently realized they were fake! On Slifer’s card, the name is incorrectly spelled as Sliffer; there is no “divine” in the top right corner; there is no “1996 …” in the bottom right corner and in the bottom left corner there is no “this card cannot…”; there is no foil in the bottom right corner; their numbers under the picture say G4-01, G4-02, G4-03 instead of the correct G4-001, etc.; the writing is in a slightly different font. The other cards have the same problems albeit they are spelled correctly. However, everything else is present. All three card are different colors, front and back; the descriptions and pictures are correct; they do not have the logos on the back. The cards were originally acquired from eBay. E-mail me if you would like to see a scanned copy of them.
Why is it when i try to find real Yu-Gi-Oh cards in China, i never succeed, and only end up with counterfeits, fake cards with typos and completely changed (but same idea) effect and names? Does anyone know any real Yu-Gi-Oh card shop in China?
Theres no such thing as a 1st edition god card right? and isnt the real slifer the sky dragon from the GBI-001 supposed to be red on the back of the card?
Ugh. I bought a selection of cards off of Ebay and the cards in the picture were real Except one but I knew that anyway. There was a shiny first edition Blue eyes white Dragon with the holographic film at the bottom and stuff. Then the Blue Eyes I got sent was too big, unshiny, the card was dulled as if it had been in the sun too long and it had no holographic film. I just stared at it for like a minute then went, DAMN! I replied to the guy but he said it must have been the camera flash that made it look shiny and real. I just left it at that and used the card as a template for stuff. Same thing happened with a Winged Dragon of Ra I bought for £8. I had asked a question about it about three hours before the sale ended but I was only answered with details pointing to it being fake after I had paid for it.
also it ses 1st edition god cards say limited edition or nothing
i have a real slifer and a fake one i keep the real one in its plastic case and use the craptaculer fake one 4 duels!
How do you identify a fake card even though it was in a seiled pack
Ive owned two sets of yugioh god cards, so I know what the real deal looks like- i recently bought another set off ebay, and these cards were fakes. the attention to detail was incredible though- everything was right, except for the glossy finish on the card. Furthermore, the seller left a sticky note inside the package stating “NEGATIVE/NEUTRAL FEEDBACK OR PP DISPUTE VOIDS REFUND”, so if I want my money back, I cant rat the seller out! >:[
i have other fake god cards and sacred beasts. They look real but they arent because u can see that the stars look different and it is glossy. There are not only 11 stars on the one ur son traded for but the stars look very different just like my fake slifer and other god cards.The ones i have have everything is right expect they feel different,look different,and there stars look different.
Damn! I have Obelisk the tormentor, but its a fake. Thanks for helping me, otherwise I would never have known.
