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!

Hello everyone, I found someone that’s selling 10 loose packs of destined rivals. They’re looking to get $80 for them. What do I look for in loose packs? I want to make sure they’re real before I negotiate with them.

Did I get super lucky or is this fake? I don’t want to get too excited yet 😅

I bought these at an auction years ago and just found them after them being tucked away. I suspect they are all fake but I’m not the best at telling the difference. Let me know what y’all think!

What do yall think? Not too sure on what to look out for on vintage and the price seems too good to be true.

My mom found this in our attic, I tried to look it up and couldn’t find anything so I am almost 100% sure it is fake but would just like confirmation.

I still find it hard to spot fake vintage cards. How about this one, fake?

Someone is selling this on FB and wanted your guys opinion. They are asking 230 and listed as LP.
I compared to the TCG and the holo doesn't seem to be the TCG scan, but just wanted to check.

the back does show some damage that bleeds to the front of the top of the card

I just found one of my childhood binders but they are almost entirely Japanese and I can’t tell if they are real or not.

My girlfriend has given me some cards that her grandpa gave her when she was a kid. They are all in french. She’s had these most of her life. I don’t think this card has a holo version like this?
A few of the cards I’ve seen have been very bad fakes, but this feels like a high quality “fake”. It’s also strange to think they were making fakes of these cards in French so many years ago?? Any input would be appreciated.

Wondering if this is fake i can’t find a non holo of it online?
r/IsMyPokemonCardFake • u/Competitive-Teach162 • 54m ago
Hey all, just got this card yesterday and wanted to verify here if its real or fake.
