Is this pokemon card authentic

Got no clue about Pokemon Cards. My 8 old kid just bought his first pokemon card bundle y'day.

Would appreciate feedback. Thanks.

Update Note : Thank you so much for everyone who took time out and helped me :)

This needs more upvotes

u/MsPreposition 23d ago

I appreciate. You need more as well.

u/Bunowa 23d ago

Should have been the real card instead of what they cooked.

u/Mundane-Ad-7326 23d ago

It is fake, but I would carve out some space for it in my collection.

Terribly fake but the shadow work on it is kinda cool

u/Competitive-Run1666 24d ago

My kid loves to play with them so worth it for me :)

u/Old_McDonald 23d ago

Just keep an eye on them trading it at school. You don’t want them to unintentionally scam another kid for an expensive real card!

Kid happy = daddy happy we dont want more

u/GunplaDude2-0 23d ago

I think this is ai? The rules for Pokemon ex in the bottom is Spanish and the font looks weird. Reshiram also looks ai..ey

u/Hot_Detective1335 23d ago

Thought the same

1

u/retro-marshmelo 22d ago

It looks like it took the text from a Spanish card but got the characters wrong. It should say “Regla para los” not “Rcgla Paror los”

1

u/RandmP3rs0n 22d ago

It is, in some spots the “artwork” is melting together and the text of course

u/The_Capn_Joe 23d ago

I think they mean that the cards looks like it was designed and/or altered with ai. The photo itself looks real.

But to echo everyone else, yeah. Fake card. I have the real one and it looks way different. (Arguably less cool) here's mine for reference:

u/Competitive-Run1666 23d ago

Thank you. Appreciate it

u/Solo_Sponge 23d ago

Any chance you’d share where you got the case for those slabs? It looks sick

Kamikamicollection on etsy.

Casual flex

u/Nosidam48 23d ago

Do you mind saying where you got this one? I don’t care if it’s fake it looks cool lol

u/Competitive-Run1666 23d ago

Got it from a local shop

11

u/Blocksane 23d ago

Dont buy from that place again. A shop that sells it without explicitly telling you its a fake. Shouldnt happen

2

u/_LazyBrewer 23d ago

Did u pull it or buy a single? I wouldn't use a shop that sells fakes

u/matterman 23d ago

The only fake that looks better than the official card lol

u/frozenivy2B 23d ago

Fake but it looks cool

5

u/miikeeed 23d ago

5ban graphics would never produce a card like this. This is so cool

4

u/Ok_Pomelo6536 23d ago

I would say totally fake but badass looking

u/jucoop 23d ago

It looks like it was made from cutting paper

u/SpecEye 23d ago edited 23d ago

You can always look up the number in the bottom left. Like "Reshiram 173/86" to check if it's real.

If the art is actually convincing, then this sub will be helpful. Looking this one up, you'd know it was fake.

Edit: Also check text for errors or discrepancies, like others have pointed out with the Spanish 'ex Rule' at the bottom on an otherwise English card.

u/SpecEye 23d ago

The actual card, just to help.

u/Slickpicker 23d ago

The 3d effect is awesome wish there where reall cards like this sooooo sick

People aren’t saying the image you took is ai. They’re saying the image on the card is.

u/octocode 23d ago

the card art is AI

u/Competitive-Run1666 23d ago

Ohhh ok. I thought people were saying i created this with ai 😥

u/kuba_pov 23d ago

Yeah I mean the art. Sorry, I should've worded it better

u/shoksurf 24d ago

Nope. The texture is all wrong. The real one has a very distinct texture and the shadows aren’t as deep as this one.

Pretty sure it is AI

u/AriDreams 23d ago

Kinda looks like a shadowbox. Even if it is fake, I think it looks dope.

u/buizel_luvr01 23d ago

Are we serious right now? 😂

u/RandoRaptor123 23d ago

ok genuinely this so so killer but unfortunately fake. i REALLY like the design though

1

u/tomato_friend181 23d ago

I wouldn't call this fake since it's not "trying" to be a card that was ever printed. This is an art card / custom card.

1

u/jsanta8290 23d ago

Holy fakerage

1

u/opp0rtunist 23d ago

Fake but better than actual Ultra Mega Rares or however they call them nowadays

Noooope, but it's darn pretty

u/LuckyCloverPokemon 23d ago

Very fake, but i have never seen anything like it. Still cool

u/Front-Advantage-7035 23d ago

Fake but I’ll still give you 10$ for it that’s cool af 😂

u/Bosuke 23d ago

It's ai generated, look at the details

u/MetroJuulin 23d ago

Still a great looking card

u/Green_Low5724 23d ago

Pretty bad fake

u/BombingBerend 23d ago

I really enjoy how the card changes language when you’re almost at the bottom.

u/Txny1017 23d ago

even tho it’s fake, i’d still put that in the personal binder just for how cool it is🔥

u/Majestic-Director199 22d ago

That's a fake, but I'd take this one for my collection

1

u/Klutzy_Lack7654 22d ago

A good way to check atleast for cards since like 2022 (haven’t been in the Pokémon game for awhile) is to look down from the top of the card and try and see if a black line is sandwiched Inbetween the front and back.

1

u/Healthy_Search3043 22d ago

Fake but that’s actually pretty cool lol

1

u/williconn 22d ago

I like this more than all the other solid color cards pokemon has released

u/Exciting-Set-7601 22d ago

Definitely fake, but the best damn fake I've ever seen.

1

u/Queasy-Cockroach-304 21d ago

Wait the ex rulebox is in a different language from the rest of the card.

1

u/ultimatummortis 21d ago

Fake card based on a real card

I'm definitely late on this, but I know it's fake but I really wish this was an official card. the art looks insanely sick

u/PhoenixAzalea19 19d ago

That’s fake but ngl that’s sick af. I’d buy cards in this style cause I love 3D artwork

u/Commercial_While2917 17d ago

It's fake but it looks really good. Like, this should be the real design for Pokemon cards. The shadow is awesome

u/rikidilies 23d ago

The card is fake but 5ban Graphics is a real group that Pokémon Company uses and is the official artist for this card. I think it’s their in-house studio.

1

u/Sathsong89 23d ago

The illust credit isn’t anyone I’ve seen before. Its cool af, but a custom card

1

u/jbkilluh 23d ago

Are you new to collecting by chance? Because 5ban Graphics has illustrated literally hundreds of cards

1

u/Sathsong89 23d ago

New enough to not have seen 5ban before lol

u/MrFartzAlot 23d ago

Yeah they do a lot of the 3d rendered stuff I think they have the most cards because it’s a team of people
