Intro: Montana’s ID is very basic, no fancy window or anything like that, just base security features – should be easy to fix anything that’s off.
Uncertainty factor: I’m using the barbook so shitty pictures is all I’m comparing with.
Cost: Received for review, but with constant discount codes I would say pretty much any Magic IDs are worth the price, especially with group rates.
Communication: I talk about Magic a lot, see any of the other reviews. TLDR I love them.
Shipping: Arrived 19 days after ordering – pretty standard. Tracking number never updated on the website which I’ve never had happen, so I messaged them after about two weeks of no news and they said it shipped out and would update it, arrived a few days later. Great communication though.
Photoshop: Looks like the one in the book, background color might be a bit too bright. Shadows and cropping look the exact same, however.
Template: All the numbers look like they’re placed correctly. License number format is correct which is always good to see. Background image of the mountains looks like it could be a bit more vibrant compared to the real, but again that could be because of the terrible scan I have. Second it looks like all the personal information text could be just a bit thicker. Also, the Montana state “logo” could be a little darker and slightly thinner (the letters, most noticeably “N”, are a bit more rounded on Magic’s). No real ID star but that’s not a flaw, just a note.
Look and Feel: Like most other Teslin IDs, like nCA but a bit thicker. Matte texture. No embossed/raised text on the ID, which is like the real.
Hologram/OVI/UV: The UV is pretty basic and looks pretty good. Stars on the left are perfectly outlined by the UV and the top mountains are just very barley a bit higher than the mountains (not sure if it supposed to be or not). Didn’t take a picture of the back UV because it’s just a ghost image with your pic and bday.
Perforation of a flower in the bottom left looks very nicely punched out.
Holos look to be correct, aren’t over pronounced like some vendors make some states. OVI also looks good, gold color MONTANA text. I’ll try and get a pic.
Back template looks phenomenal, especially the microprinting on the horses (see pics).
Signature: Thick but looks about right compared to the sample. Placement is about right
Conclusion: Overall, I’m actually really happy with this ID. I think that it might be an underrated state if you live on the west coast, especially Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Idaho (who tf is from Idaho tho lol). I’m going to try to use it in the west coast later when I go home if I get the chance. Most of the features are very well executed, and I think that in terms of bang for your buck this is solid if you can convince people you live in Bumfuck, Montana.

Sorry if the pictures are a bit tilted, also ignore any warping on close up pictures that’s just my lens.
