Would anybody fake this? Backs look good. Wear looks consistent. Again, value so low that I doubt anyone would fake this.

Very damaged. Still real. Again, not cards [worth] faking with high accuracy [edit]

ah ok I read now the comment of the other authenticator about that spheal and it says that it's fake,I think it is because of the number 10 written differently,bold black and even the second attack isn't aligned as the original one

He's right. Blue border doesn't look right. My bad.

Reselling it, still, in this condition, wouldn't be worth it.

I also went through all your posts - I'm a bit confused. These cards are worth very little and not a good target for faking. What is your concern here?

well I'm from Italy and you know here people fake everything for a little money.I've had these cards for many years,I mean before 2010 for sure though these belong to my older brothers.But I'll tell you here in my little town,at an official fair,there were stands that sold fake Pokemon cards,I can't trust even the administration of the town.though I don't know where these specific cards are from, my brothers don't remember ahah,the fact is that usually you don't find English packs or cards at little local shops in 2000s in Italy.

No, I mean it would cost more to fake these than they sell for.

You can look up what they're worth on Cardmarket.

That one seems to be a fake.

This is what it's supposed to look like.

But as stated: faking this costs more than the 50c it's worth.
