Single close votes don't matter.
There's a large userbase with differing opinions, and people are free to cast whatever close and reopen votes they like.
But it takes combined judgment of five people, or a single diamond moderator (who has hopefully been elected on the basis they have good judgment among other qualities), to close or reopen a question.
It's not a matter of “loving to close questions”, it's individuals doing what they think will best help maintain the quality levels of the site.
Suggesting it's a matter of loving to close stuff is fairly uncharitable, and kinda missing the point.

Hey guys whats up
Just wondering, have you even in MTG had an "It's this card fake?" post?
currently a YuGiOh user posted, and I suggested OP to include a pic of the possibly fake card, so we could help determining it's legal status
The post was answerable by itself, and was about a relevant aspect of cards that is card number
any comments on that?
 
There are posts in other games about determining if a card is fake or not
with the original post all the information that we had was the order of the deck which is hard to answer unless there is evidence that they are boxed in a set order
now with the pictures posted more can be done but honestly I think there are still problems as it still all centers around the order of the cards in the deck.
Which for all we know is the deck was opened and repacked
Though I will point out that just because it is on amazon doesn't mean it isn't fake
as some have found out the hard way when a company comes after them for purchasing counterfeit goods from amazon
here is an example question

Q: How to tell whether a Pokémon Card is fake or not

VortexYTRecently, I have obtained many Pokémon cards, but I do not know how to tell if they are real. For example, some seem more shiny on the back then others, and there seem to be many typos like Caterpie EX for Charizard EX. Any ways of differentiating?

thanks @JoeW :)
Yeah, it centers more around the order of the cards, which is a valid question for users that ignore that cards should come in their order
But I agree that this is also something that, if OP is uncomfortable, should be taken to the guys at Amazon besides asking here
 
Good answer though
 
:) thanks again
Perhaps we need a How to tell whether a YuGiOh card is fake or not, and include in more detail the aspects I mentioned in the second part of my answer
 
might be a good idea for magic as well if there isn't already one

I had an original Holographic Charizard...and then my friend conned me into trading it to him for a bunch of junk cards...I will never forgive that...
