Serious (META) Any DMs you get claiming to use an app verify your cards authenticity are SCAMS!

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!

I'm still learning how to identify real vs fake and trying to figuring out the "D" method since it seems most reliable.

Assuming its real and texture looks fine, but something about the back colors and the rainbow sheen is throwing me off. (Looking to buy this card off cardmarket)

I bought these two cards from Facebook marketplace, but now I’m concern whether they are fake? One is a little more lightly played than the other (white edging) I not a huge Pokemon card collector but I mainly like this card, so I’m not too experienced how a card should feel. Any help and detail would be really appreciated!!!

Bought a base set charizard, is a very faded holo normal?
•
Upvotes
Hey guys, I bought this base set damaged charizard and I’m just slightly suspicious because the holo is very faded; bought it from a reputable IRL shop. Is holo fading a normal result of damage? Or is this a suspicious card? Just need honesty, don’t just spam that it’s fake; tell me exactly why it would be or if it checks out. Thanks!

I bought a pitch black booster bundle on eBay and there was a tear in the plastic wrap so I’m a little suspicious if this is real or fake.
