I’m pretty new to paper Magic, just started dipping my toes in it after a friend got me into Arena.

I’ve found a private seller selling new MOM commander decks for around $30 equivalent, while other listings are around twice as much, give or take ($50 to $60 equivalent).

This is on eBay so I should be covered by their buyer protection in case anything goes wrong, but is there any chance those are bootleg/knockoff decks? Does anything like that even exist? If they were fake cards I probably wouldn’t be able to tell, to be honest.

I should probably ask the seller if those decks are new and sealed, or just new but opened for display or something like that; although I doubt they’d admit to selling bootleg decks, that’s why I’m asking you guys.

Lastly, the seller has 100% positive feedbacks, but few of them (less than ten, I think, so pretty easily faked).

What do you think? Thanks in advance!

    No harm in asking if it’s sealed and genuine. They may just be looking to move stock quickly, not uncommon for precons.
