Question

What if the image on the card is smaller than normal ones?

Community Answer

Then it is most likely fake. Some cards have just tiny incorrect details that could mean it's fake; it could also just mean that it's damaged.

Question

What if it is black on the back?

Community Answer

If it is solid black, it is a fake; if it has a tornado of orange-yellow getting darker as it goes to the middle, It's most likely real.

Question

Is it true that Yu Gi Oh! cards with silver names are worth more money?

CompetitiveWhale

Community Answer

No. In some cases, you'll just have an almost unusable card like Ultimate Obedient Fiend, but if there are other conditions for the card, such as rarity and versatility, it can be worth a lot of money.

Question

What happens if the card doesn't say first edition on it?

Community Answer

There are other editions - it doesn't have to be the first one, as long as it indicates an edition. It there is no edition indicated at all, it is fake.

Question

Why do some cards that are the same name have different color names on Yu Gi Oh cards?

Community Answer

That means one of them is fake, or is just for collecting purposes only. If none of them say, it cannot be used in a duel because one of them is fake.
