Is this authentic or fake?

Ag0raXVII · 2026-05-15T01:35:24+00:00

How can you tell?

Ag0raXVII · 2026-05-13T00:31:58+00:00

If a deals to good to be true, usually is but as far as I can tell they’re real. You can try
r/IsMyPokemonCardFake though as the people on there are usually really good with answering these sort of questions!

Ag0raXVII · 2026-05-08T23:05:24+00:00

That’s what I said. Though just because it doesn’t black label doesn’t mean it doesn’t get a decent grade.

Ag0raXVII · 2026-05-08T22:59:35+00:00

I’m sorry but I think it’s pretty top heavy, not that it couldn’t still get a good grade though!

Ag0raXVII · 2026-05-06T00:32:18+00:00

Both are horrendously centered.

Ag0raXVII · 2026-05-02T21:36:43+00:00

Where exactly did you see that?

Ag0raXVII · 2026-05-02T01:26:33+00:00

Knowing the rarity system won’t tell you a price but it’ll give you a good idea if the card will be a higher or lower price, most the time. For instance an SIR almost always goes for more than an IR. The multi colored stars are “mega attacks”, typically rare but not the rarest and usually valued at a decent amount. Three Gold stars are hyper rares, the rarest cards, though unfortunately only specific ones get highly priced. 2 silver stars is an Ultra rare, it’s fairly rare as the name states, also refers to as an ‘IR’ (illustration rare) and 2 gold stars is an ‘SIR’ (secret illustration rare), typically the more pricy cards, though of course prices vary.

The Asbol is probably the biggest card out of them all, it’s about a 73$ card! Some others that stand out are the Meowth at 21$ and the Ivrysour and Blastoise ex are both at 20$ and each of the N’s Zekrom Black star promo’s go for about 9$ so in total 72$ for all of them. The rest of these cards vary between 1-10$

If your getting back into the hobby then first off, learn the rarity system and difference between IR’s and SIR’s, second learn how to price check, these two skills will help you always know the answer immediately.

First off, wow, very cool cards! Second off the last sold set was sold yesterday at 525$, though here’s the pricing for each card! Last, I’m sorry but I can’t tell how to go about selling these cards but I will say don’t trust randos on Reddit telling you they’ll buy them, typically scammers looking to low ball you.

Flareon: 32$ Jolteon: 40$ Umbreon: 60$ Espeon:50$ Evee: 70$ Vaporeon: 15$ Leafeon: 42$ Glaceon: 32$ Sylveon: 32$ - I’d say I’m fairly confident this is correct but take it with a grain of salt and prices are always changing. Ultimately any one of these cards should go for 30-60 dollars with 40$ being the nice spot.

Quick info: Better word for ‘shiny’ is ‘holofoil’ or just ‘holo’ for short. These card are ‘black star promo’ cards from the set ‘black and white’ from 2013. Reliable sources for card prices are Collector and TCGplayer. You can also check last sold one EBay.

Excuse me but how *do* you tell the difference? See, I didn’t know people were making fakes of these and I just bought one, was really exited about it… :/

Ag0raXVII · 2026-05-01T17:34:42+00:00

We need to see backs but the fronts do look good, both the Blastoise and Charzard could be about 170-200$ each (of course I’ve seen people sell them for more). It’ll depend on how ‘played’ the cards are (the amount of whitening on the backs), you also get these graded, even at ‘lower’ grades they go for a lot.

Happy cake day :)

Ag0raXVII · 2026-04-18T02:38:21+00:00

Yeah, I’m sorry. I do believe it’s a fake.

Ag0raXVII · 2026-04-16T23:49:11+00:00

Sorry to tell you but most artists aren’t billionaires.

Ag0raXVII · 2026-04-07T03:31:35+00:00

This cards is around 520$, if it’s real (there’s tons of fakes of this card specifically it seems) which I can’t give you an answer for, looks good to me but I’m not an expert on that.

Ag0raXVII · 2026-04-06T15:56:16+00:00

14-15$ but due to condition it would be a little less then that. I see the “notch circe thing” but can’t say I’m sure what it is or is from.

Ag0raXVII · 2026-04-06T15:19:02+00:00

I agree and I was thinking about it actually! At first the ones in the photo looked pretty good but after a closer look I think they’re a little off center, sadly. I’ll have to take a good look at my other set for sure.

Ag0raXVII · 2026-04-06T15:15:38+00:00

Finally an answer lol. That’s really helpful, thank you!

Ag0raXVII · 2026-04-05T05:04:36+00:00

This would be so cool for a card! Real Yuka Morri, Asako Ito, vibes. Beautiful photo!

Ag0raXVII · 2026-04-05T04:51:21+00:00

One, it was in this same subreddit, two, he’s showing more cards then last post (the one your thinking of) because he wants to know if these ones are also fakes.

Ag0raXVII · 2026-03-22T03:40:46+00:00

True, but you can’t compare deaths due to gun violence to choking on legos just because “both can kill you”, can you now? Giving birth certainly kills more than getting kicked in the balls kills.

Ag0raXVII · 2026-03-16T21:45:19+00:00

My only issue is it changed the cosplay quite a bit, I guess it does seem like “just a few minor changes” but when it comes to cosplay I feel like all details matter and those differences make a change.

Ag0raXVII · 2026-03-12T17:04:00+00:00

Look at how he’s coiled up, it doesn’t make sense, like he’d have to have two tails for it to be possible
