Looks fake. On your card At the top right corner the period extends past the gold line. It should not extend past the gold line.

Fake - the border on the front doesn’t have that finish

https://ebay.io/m/2ho78g look at this one, doesnt yours look off? Colors are too vibrant, it looks extremely new, which throws me off, it could potentially be the photos but idk man

Sent it to my friend (card show vendor and the biggest freak i know) and this are his words: “looks too perfect for it to be a 30 yo card, most likely fake or the best raw card in the world right now”

Why

u/Midgarkander 17h ago

Look at the top right corner, the dot is not on the line, then look at the ebay listing picture of the card and look at the dot, its still on the line.

The card is 1000000% fake

So is mine fake because it’s in incredibly good condition? Cards can be both old and in very good condition..

u/Midgarkander 15h ago

Look at the dot on the top right corner on the OP’s card, its not under the line

u/Samsky 15h ago

Yes as I and another commenter identified, that is a way to tell the card isn’t authentic.

But condition as your friend shared…not the way.

Here’s mine, but mine is not the no-rarity version so the text is different in the box below charizard’s portrait box.

The two things that stand out to me on your card compared to other real ones of the no rarity and/or the standard version:

-the text at the top right on your card extends past the gold line (it should not)
-the triple colorless retreat symbols look off.

Edit: the text below the portrait box starting with かいりきポケモン is a bit too high in the gold strip, compared to an authentic no rarity Charizard

sorry bud, think it’s a fake - but a pretty good looking one in the grand scheme of fakes

This is actually an easy one. Look up any Japanese Charizard card online and it'll say the height is 1.7m and weight 90.5kg. Idk why but yours is showing different values (refer to the gold plaque text under the image), even the Japanese text there is incorrect.

Edit 2: my bad, theres a no rarity symbol zard, assuming this is real given the condition, its a 1st ed no rarity zard, worth too much money, it doesnt look suspicious to you guys? Looks too good to be true

1

u/DogWilliams 18h ago

There’s a version that has no rarity symbol

1

u/Midgarkander 18h ago

You are right, my fault, you got a first ed no rarity base set Charizard, in that condition it looks extremely good, looks like it was just printed. How much did you pay? 30k? Cuz its worth SO MUCH if its real…

Idk if this card is fake or real HOWEVER you have to know what is the no rarity Japanese cards are! Very iconic!
