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!

Following up on the last post we are going to be taking a look at reverse holos. As you can see from photos 1&2 the holos is perfected. It’s dynamic, has the same reflection and there is zero difference in either the fake or the real one. I will share a video so you can have a better understanding. So let’s look at the identifiable issues:
Photo 3: evolution box is still pixelated/fuzzy. Text above the box is the wrong boldness.
Photo 4: energy issues, the fakes colorless energies are missing the shadows as well as the water energies. The fire energies have a white dot instead of a shadow. Scary noticeable difference is the FAKE has BETTER print quality, and the REAL cards energies have more pixelation.
Photo 5: Charizard is a slightly lower print quality and is lighter in color, however given sunfading and print runs, would highly recommend focusing on other parts of the card rather than how light or dark Charizard is.
Photo 6: Back is better than the CD promos but still lower quality than a real one, color variation is slight.
Photo 7: black core is visible on the fake where the real one the core is hidden, same as the CD Promos
Next up to review: English Non-Holo, Japanese Non-Holo and English Reverse Holo

Hi!
Ik heb wat japanse bulkkaarten verkocht via marktplaats.
Ik heb er nog meer kaarten.
Maar ik kreeg in de loop van de middag een berichtje dat ze allemaal nep waren. Een deel van mijn kaarten heb ik vanuit gekochte bulk en een deel heb ik geript.
Ik heb wat gegoogled en krijg heel veel tegenstrijdige geluiden.
Ik hoop dat iemand mij kan helpen.
Ik wil diegene prima zijn geld terug geven maar moet.ik wel zeker zijn dat ze nep zijn en daarbij verscheur ik en gooi ik mijn anderen kaarten ook weg dan..
Ik heb wat fotos toegevoegd welke de koper heeft gestuurd.
Mochten er meer fotos nodig zijn kan ik deze voorzien.
De engelse kaart is die van diegene zelf (niet van mij gekocht)

Recently returned to the hobby <6 months and still learning about all the new telltale signs like the holo rainbows usuallly meaning bad news, but recently bought 2 cards(2 different vendors) that have been giving me 2nd thoughts since theyre slightly different than the usual modern .
The mega rays fully textured btw, i just took it whilst still in binder. Its the keldeos aurora thats throwing me off but i noticed my 1 or 2 other s12a full arts have slightly different holos compared to most sets as well but this one really screamed rainbow when tilted.

Bought a 151 Booster Bundle on Tiktok for well below market. Now that I'm looking at it, the front art Mew tail looks weird. If suspicious enough I'll rip it and show results. Bought it just to see what would come in

Friend of mine sent me this from a binder he found. Can’t tell if it’s just a bad picture or what but the background seems off

So I have two Erika’s Vileplume (see photos). Are they both legit? Both fake? I am the worst at identifying these things! The one thing that stood out to me is that at the bottom after the word “Creatures”, one card looks like it has a comma, and the other card looks like it has a period. Not sure if that’s significant or not.
Note: The first three photos are of one card (P-hole, front of card, and back of card). The next three photos is of the second card. I used the Magnifier app on the iPhone.

Just found these four cards in an old box I had from I was young are they even real? (I know they are quite damaged used to actually play with them when I was younger) and if they aren’t real what are the signs to look for?
Thanks in advance

Hello bought this on mercari, just looking for a binder copy of this not psa 10 material.
Just want to know if this is authentic or not? Photo from the seller.
I'll post again once I have the card.

Hello, my Dragonite I recently acquired looks to be oddly cut on the top corners. Is this normal? Fake?

Bought both from the same card shop. It's interesting bow the white colour is different between the holo and non holo card. Is one of them fake?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Any idea? It looks good from the front just not sure if the rainbow pattern is a feature lf the card. Back side seems darker than expected though.

First time buying off ebay and can someone help me identify if this is legit.
r/IsMyPokemonCardFake • u/Auburn-Sky • 45m ago
Pretty sure it's fake. Seller's photos. The holo is light-reactive but still seems a bit off, maybe?
r/IsMyPokemonCardFake • u/Shevintee • 50m ago
Ive bought some random bulk from different sources, and noticed that some seemed to have a darker shade, and different centering.
Examples attached - with the darker on the right hand side.
Are the darker ones fake? Feel is similar but something seems a little off. The darker ones also came in one lot and were generally better condition.
Or do i have it the other way around?
If fake - quite scary that fakers would go to the hassle
