My friend went to Japan and traded a gram of weed (costs something like $50 there) for this atrocious fake. No holograms, there is like some kind of faux-hologram pattern printed on the PVC, laminate is peeling on 2 corners and has to be glued down. No barcode and a fake magstrip. A miracle that it worked Yesterday, went to a shitty bodega in Portland and got a dozen bottles of Olde English.

You'd be surprised at how bad they can be. That's incredible compared to a lot of local IDs I've seen.
Im from NY and there is no small picture anywhere on the ID. That shit is horrible
Hahaha yup, Old NY has no ghost image in the corner.
You know, comments like this bother me. If that ID was used across the country at a gas station, do you think that employee making minimum wage is going to know what a NY ID is supposed to look like, let alone give a shit? It looks like a license, and it has a birthdate that makes them old enough. That's fine for places outside of that region.
good luck with that
What, you really expect somebody to know what every state's ID is supposed to look like? Unless there is a major flaw, like lopsided laminate or a really shitty picture, most people aren't going to know the difference if you're not in the same region.
This is why establishments like that buy ID checking guides, also known as 'bar books'. Also, bouncers should be very aware of the popular states like NY, CA, and the frequently-faked states. This card actually looks pretty good from a quick glance, but that ghost window screws it all up.
So much of this formatting is wrong, I don't even know how they made this, they must have not even bothered to look up a NYS ID pic
Does your id scan bro?
It's not a faux hologram, actual old NY IDs actually have that pattern printed. They don't have any holograms except for a wavy sine wave type thing, but I don't believe that's even considered a holo. Nonetheless, this is definitely pretty shitty haha. Oh, and of course, oNY should be a teslin ID, not PVC.
Weed laws are strict in Japan
