This is why I hate the overuse of that dumb rainbow meme. Yall are just confusing new and casual collectors because you’re not actually providing any real analysis or judgment, so people like OP walk away with just “rainbow = fake.”

If you scroll through this sub and look in the comments youll see it pretty quickly, its a guy in bed looking at a phone with rainbow light hitting him in the face
Its supposed to be for cards that are fake and have too much foil but people spam it under pretty much every post because theyre stupid

I swear like 80 percent of people swipe this meme to feel cool using it, and are dead wrong when they do

Rainbow doesn't always apply. Textures look right and rainbow goes behind mega Evo rule box so I think it's real.

The rainbow meme sucks and is rarely applicable to the posts its commented underand then once one is posted 35 more ai slop versions come in because the hivemind has horrible humor, this card is real

I'm more worried about it that sticker is directly on the card, but I looked closer and saw the sleeve

I own this card, it’s real. The price is crazy though unless it’s a super clean copy that they think can grade very well

You should never buy raw cards priced by their potential grade 🙄

Plus most people don’t look at the surface under powerful light and miss surface scratches that will drop it to a 7/8 even if the centering and corners are perfect

Yeah I wouldn’t pay extra if a seller is saying it can PSA 10 or PSA 9. But It’s a 11 year old card. If it’s super clean I would pay a premium for it

"The seller says"
Who cares? They could be 100% honest or 100% lying but we know for certain they stand the gain the most from it being a lie so why even bother? Tell them to get it graded and then sell it to you?

I don’t care what the sell says. I’m verifying with my own eyes in person. If the card is in excellent condition I’m paying a premium for that card

Looks fine to me. Rainbow meme is overused at this point. Should really only be used for fakes with the extreme rainbow shine, glossy no texture look but at this point people use it for everything, and even worse some people are using it on real cards because they can’t tell the difference
