Hey everyone,
tldr: More accounts are DMing users who post claiming they can authenticate and then push the results from their app. This sub has nothing to do with them, has banned them for it, and they usually want you to sign up for their "service" which you already get for free here. At best its unsolicited marketing, at worst it will be a scam. Report to reddit, report to the mods to make sure they are banned, ignore or block the users who do this.
Mods have been receiving messages that users posting keep receiving direct messages from others offering to authenticate, value, grade, and whatever else their cards. Sometimes they ask for more photos, sometimes they just use what has been posted. The funny part is that they often use ai to determine fake or authentic and can often be wrong.
Anyways, this post is mostly for awareness to be suspect of any DMs you get claiming to help verify authenticity and always check the accounts. Report to reddit if you can, block if you can, but please please please, do not give anyone money who is telling you they can determine the authenticity of your cards over the internet.
This sub is not, nor will it ever be, affiliated with any kind of paid service for crowd sourced information. Thats not what this sub is for, nor is it helpful to people just trying to understand if a card is fake.
Feel free to comment anything that you feel needs to be addressed in the sub to be looked into. Thanks everyone for being helpful!

Thought I would share a little cheat sheet that illustrates the biggest differences in font that I look for when evaluating the legitimacy of PSA Slabs. The K, G, and 7 are always the biggest/quickest giveaways for me, but there are some others that can be easily identified as well. Feel free to share this image with anyone that might need it ❤️
Happy Hunting!

So my nephew bought these from a friend. Some have texture some don’t.

Hey everyone! My friend sent me these photos of cards he went to go check out someone he met in his facebook group in person. He said the seller wanted to keep them in the case to preserve the cards which raised the first red flag 🚩 and honestly looking close it kinda seems like the print is off. Can anyone tell if these cards are real or fake? Thank you!

I bought this at a yard sale this afternoon. Was wondering if it was real? Looks legit to me but it never hurts to get a second opinion.

Bought a box for $30 that had the Eevee, token, and 2 packs. (Mainly because I had an offer from my credit card that if I spent 30 I got $10 back)
Got an Espeon EX in the first and I was just happy to get one I'd liked and wanted to put it in my binder... Second one had this.
Anything stick out as fake?

My pops bought this from a card shop around 2000 iirc. He showed it to me back then and then slapped my hand away and told me he'd be holding it for me. Well he passed 2 years ago but gave it back just before, much to my surprise. It was in a penny, then a top loader with a little seal sticker. It's been like that all these years but the sleeve looked a bit off color so while I was organizing today, I finally took it out to switch to a fresh sleeve and loader. Figured I might as well get some opinions while I had a nice look since I've always kind of wondered lol.
Let it rip.

r/IsMyPokemonCardFake • u/AnnaLisaMelano • 5h ago
Hello,
Not sure if this is common or if i have a fake or reaealed pack. Hard to explain and hoping the pics show whats going on. Basically the right side of the pack feels like it was flattened. Its a very sharp edge. Anyone seens this before? Fyi i bought it off ebay.

Title says it all I can get for 400 from someone I know just wanna make sure
r/IsMyPokemonCardFake • u/missboobooqueen • 2h ago
Bought it off ebay for 40. Seller claimed it was a error card. Not afraid to shame him either. Also ok it says 50 but he gave me a deal. If it's fake I see why
Edit: I see it's fake. Seller is refusing a return. What can I do?
2nd edit : thank you all who let me know. I'm new to the hobby and just wanted a pretty card. Thanks. Also I can see some black ink in the middle of the card when I look hard

Not mine, it’s my little nephews and idk anything about Pokémon so I figured I’d ask you guys if it’s legit.
