@TwoLanguageTrainer asks
got a gold-looking card in a party favor. How can I tell if it's a real release or a novelty?
Jeff answers
I'd look for an exact official product match, including its material, number, and design. Gold-colored doesn't settle authenticity either way. Keep it separate until identified. Like @Squintle's questionable bundle, the important step is checking the item itself before assuming it belongs in normal trading inventory.
