What Happens If You Buy a Fake From Redd?
Redd, the infamous art forger from Animal Crossing, has once again returned with his mysterious Treasure Trawler, this time in the latest installment of the beloved game, Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Among the array of art supplies and forgeries, the question of what happens when you buy a fake piece from Redd has surfaced. Let’s dive deeper into this fascinating topic, exploring the consequences of succumbing to Redd’s deceitful art.
The Redd’s Sales Pitch
Redd introduces himself with a charismatic wink, as he sets anchor on the shores of the island, eager to unleash his eclectic collection of treasures upon you. His siren call of "Beautiful art!" and "Only the best!" can bewitch even the most level-headed villager. While his charm is undeniable, it’s crucial to consider the integrity of his offer. What if you land on one of his cunning forgeries?
Types of Artwork
Fakes vs. Real (Legit) Artifacts
Redd’s creations can fall into two camps: those that are so convincing you’ll swear on your great-aunt Gladys that they’re 100% genuine, but are ultimately fakes – and the real deal – authentic works of art for which there’s no duplicating in existence.
Types of Redd’s Fakes:
-
Almost Real – These artwork pieces mimic the real masterpieces down to the minute detail. Untrained eyes or those too enthralled by Redd’s mystique may mistake them as genuine.
- Clearly a Fake – These will have noticeable departures from the original intent, sometimes even comically so (think a Rembrandt with a Day-Glo color scheme and a mullet).
Understanding the red flags will lead you away from the slippery slope of forgeries onto the sun-kissed path of genuine art:
Identification and Authentication Process
Recognizing the Distinctions Between Real and False
If you’re unfortunate enough to land on an almost-really-real-like fake from Redd – don’t worry! After all, the thrill’s in the chase, eh? Keep in mind – don’t donate ’em to the town’s Museum. Blathers won’t appreciate the fakes in his esteemed sanctum sanctorum for art!
Consequently, The Consequences!
| Fake-ness Factor | Consequence |
|---|---|
| Almost Real | Clings to island storage, polluting inventory space |
| Clearly Fake | Can Be Sold For Pennies/Donated to the Lost and Found |

Remember, true artistry prevails amidst the chaos!
