Legendary Dark Speaker Magician
Dark Level 9
Spellcaster Synchro Effect
ATK 2500 DEF 2700
1 Tuner + 1 non-Effect Monster
For this card's Synchro Summon, you can treat 1 DARK Spellcaster monster you control as a Level 1 or Level 2 Tuner. If this card is Special Summoned: Add 1 “Timaeus”, “Critias”, or “Hermos” card from your Deck or GY to your hand. If your opponent activates a card or effect (Quick Effect): You can reveal 1 “Legendary Dragon” Spell from your hand; Special Summon 1 Normal monster from your Deck, then this effect becomes the revealed card’s effect when that card is activated. You can only use each effect of “Legendary Dark Speaker Magician” once per turn.
The lettering was completely covered during the process, but the gold in most of the ultra rare lettering is indeed faded. They are very faintly gold. Gold seems to be one of the colors to fade quickly. My guess is that the plastic like foil layer acts a bit like a fiberoptic cable and lets UV light affect the more susceptible colors in the foil layer. It's also possible that the gaps in between the card and the shield allowed indirect light to cause some minor fading.
So can you do the same thing to BE and DM with the older art? however this time can you do 2 of each? 1 full card and the other cover the image so only the card art remains protected.
He turned Dark Magician into a synchro lol

how does the foil work with that?
Sun's UV rays "break down" the color pigments in the art
I know that but is the underlying foil also 'bleached'? Never seen one of these in person or in a video, nor do I have the ability to do one myself.
Underside, no. Unless you flip it around
Would faded cards like this still be playable? Might want to try this myself.
Aside from the DM and BE all these cards are still legal for tournament play.
How are you changing the gold lettering to silver like you did for Dark Armed Dragon?
I guess it isn't silver, just the ilumination confusing a little

Are these legal outside of casual.
Except for the synchro blue eyes and dark magician, yes
Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes are not. The others are subject to judge interpretation (wouldnt take them to wcq or higher tier events).
Yes..... With 2 exceptions.
Are these allowed in official tournaments?
TCGplayer Ghost rares
