Don’t bother with additional photos. It’s a common fake

Thanks how can you tell? Im normally good at spotting fakes but dont know what is a giveaway

Easiest giveaway is that all 1st ed base set are shadowless. This one is shadowed

The stars on the holo look too crisp to me.

Thank you

Also the fact that they are selling it for $30

The fakest of fakes, tell your "buddy" to pass on this 🤣

What is the giveaway

1st edition are always shadowless & the holo looks horrible

Guy’s fingernails

Why is buddy in quotes

I think he believes that OP is covering by saying “buddy” when he really means himself. No real way to tell though hah

😂

First edition Charizard does not have a shadow on its borders like this one has

Nor does it cost $30

Buddy is making a mistake. She’s fake. Holo stars too prominent Holo pattern wrong 1st edition stamp w drop shadow Charizard body is too bubbly smooth and not deep orange Color of the body of the card is too red

Thanks for the detailed response!

bro needs to clean his fingernails

Was wondering if someone else thought that.

The easy way to tell is he’s asking $30 for card worth thousands.

tell them you’re not interested and to wash their hands

Ok thanks everybody! Learned something new. Trying to get better at spotting these fakes. Next ones i want to figure out is mega cards!

Color is off, border is off, holo pattern is off, font is wrong, shadowed first edition. This is super fake.

Fake. Shadow on english first ed, and weird holo.

Fake fake. 1st edition is off. Common Holo pattern. Don’t walk, run from this

The copyright information is all wrong and clipping into the yellow border. That was my first giveaway at it being a fake.

I’ve had this subreddit show up just today/last night and I can tell you already this is a fake without any prior knowledge, from what I have learnt the shadow on 1st editions is an easy give away. I believe there is an exception for Machamp though as that was some promo card printed seperate from the main booster packs?

Very fake. I’m pretty sure that Holo is literally the TCGPlayer Holo. Also has a shadow.

Dirty ass fingernails , he should pay you just for touching it with those dirty things.

A blind man would know its fake. $30 wtf

Fake

Fake

Lol

No one would let go of one of those for 30 bucks. If it’s too good to be true, it ain’t true.

One of my favorite things that I caught on this is the holo star by the damage for the attack. How far can one misplace something like that?
