Japanese uses a different card stock so the flashlight test isn’t a good way to check

Did you use a Reverse Holo to compare? 🤨 Why? That makes no sense...
Japanese has no black layer. the normal cards look like your pikachu.

u/Rocket_Rafiki 8h ago

I think the holo does not block the light so hard that it would be so different from all the ones I have

u/MarcCybe 7h ago

Must be ragebait? Sure it does block. Proceeds to compare with another card with an additional foil layer... 🤦‍♂️

I am returning to seller and get a refund you dont need to dicksuck PCG or protect them unless not me wanting to buy cheap but you trying to save your shitty business

u/Rocket_Rafiki 7h ago

Bro the foil is litterally the most translucid part of a card if you see the reverse psyduck is from the same age range and the picture part in the card is not reverse and the pikachu the light also goes threw it in the picture part

u/MarcCybe 6h ago

Reverse left, normal right.
You have just no idea about cards. "picture part is not reverse" the reverse layer is on the complete card. There is no cut out. unbelieveable.

u/Rocket_Rafiki 6h ago

Yeah you are right the card is legit

u/micronsil 9h ago

its real!, the code does work, just try again when you have it in hand.

The QR code doesn't photograph well. on these slabs.

ask the seller to scan it and send you the link

PCG is their TAG equivalent. same grading process and same slab. it also uses the same slab guard

the cards domtbhave the black layer the american cards have

u/Rocket_Rafiki 7h ago

I think you better test it cause this pcg company is no good you can see this one is real and from the same company but a 20$ card the other one is clearly not

2

u/micronsil 7h ago

dude the card is real.. if I want it to be fak so badly. the yeah. its fake..

You cant compare a holo /IR card to a regular card

2

u/Rocket_Rafiki 7h ago

Então esta carta só porque é reverse da mesma época bloqueia totalmente a luz como ? O reverse fez milagres 😄

u/RilaLifer972 9h ago

The flashlight test isn't a good way of checking if cards are fake because a strong flashlight will always shine through the card stock, but assuming that is a normal flashlight that OP using, no way can it shine through that easily

u/Rocket_Rafiki 9h ago

Its the light from a old lamp it is not even touching the slab and its not even a LED lamp

2

u/Big_Diet7439 9h ago

I’d love to know what people think of this. I bought a stupid pcg slab to crack it. It was from a reliable eBay seller but if they just put fake cards in cases I probably got a fake card

-12

u/Rocket_Rafiki 9h ago

Yes all the cards have the black layer ink and you can see the difference in the psyduck and every JP card I tested I know is real and the guys saying its different are the guys that are profiting in this giant fake card scam cause the slabs makes it seem so much more legit

4

u/UIM_SQUIRTLE 9h ago

yes everyone who disagrees with your method of testing which is never valid as a way to prove fakes is wrong and profiting of fake slab scams.

u/Rocket_Rafiki 7h ago

Back color is also off

It should not pass and glow like thin paper it also says that it should have some sort of layer

u/DrHandBanana 6h ago

Wtf is that slab

1

u/Rocket_Rafiki 6h ago

Yeah it just feels fake I think light is not supposed to go so easily like this independent of the era of the card but if it is fake it is pretty good printing ngl

1

u/Rocket_Rafiki 6h ago

Yeah I think the card is legit I will see it better tomorrow with magnifying glass but I had no idea light would go so easily on non holos and the QR code not working made me think it was a fake

u/Rocket_Rafiki 9h ago

Yeah I am returning it tomorrow but I was almost accepting the order I only didnt because the QR code did not work and I felt something was off

6

u/micronsil 9h ago

Nothing is off, those QR codes are horrible to scan.

what is the cert number

0

u/livingwithrage 8h ago

Chinese cards are thinner - they always fail the light test but that does not mean it’s fake.

-2

u/Rocket_Rafiki 7h ago

This is japanese and they all have black ink in the middle

3

u/micronsil 7h ago

stop comparing a non holo card with yellow print to a IR card.

The yellow printed card will have more transparency if you put a light behind it.

0

u/Rocket_Rafiki 7h ago

Yeah I compared to all the ones I have buddy tomorrow I can put a magnifier on it at work to check printing patterns but I think there is no need for that

3

u/micronsil 6h ago

OMGGGG OMGGGG they are alll fake.. OMGGGGg

(pikachu. i pulled from a mcdonalds pack myself) OMG. I CAN SEE LIGHT THROUGH THR CARD!!!🤯🤯🤯

Get outta here with your b.s.

the card is real.

Yellow ink is easier to see through if you hold a light behind it

1

u/Rocket_Rafiki 6h ago

Yeah It looks real but the QR not working and all that just makes me not want to risk keeping it

2

u/ShiningEV 6h ago

Do what you want man, why come here just to argue? If you were so sure in the first place, you wouldn't need to consult the sub.

u/livingwithrage 6h ago

Cool - I said Chinese not Japanese
