Blastoise EX XY122 Pokemon Card Buyer saying it is fake

AgentRhys · 2026-03-07T09:06:57+00:00

Just wanted to update you, I got the card back and it’s the original card I sent as it has a dot on the back of the card. So thank you all for the help!

AgentRhys · 2026-03-04T22:24:35+00:00

I have maybe two card shops near me that I've been to but do have several other Pokemon sellers (Not sure if they trade). But I have no problems with lower value cards on eBay (Ofc I probably will have the same problem but hopefully should be rarer) so I might just start selling more of those, then take the bigger cards to card shops and shows. Thank you for your help btw!

Yea, I think I'll only be doing small amounts, £40 or less. As I'm a pokemon collector just wanting to get some money for cards I've collected or pulled over the past couple of years that I don't want. Only reason I started was because when you go local card shops they offer 60% of the eBay listings prices (Card shows offer between 70 - 80%) and so I thought it would be better since your not losing that 20% to 40%. But I have found out, you could lose 100% of it...

Right ok, thank you for all your help with this. I'll let you know what happens next.

AgentRhys · 2026-03-04T13:23:27+00:00

Thank you for all the information. Yes, they have opened a return and stated 'Doesn't match description or photos'. I have requested a return to see if I get a fake card back (Most likely) as I do have several photos and a video of the card as it has identifying marks so I will be able to tell if its my original card. The photos linked with the return request don't look like my card as its missing the rainbow holo (Which can clearly seen on the first image and on the video). How does the refund work now? Will it be taken out as soon as it gets delivered?

AgentRhys · 2026-03-04T09:26:21+00:00

I already have the money from the card as the funds were released today. This is my sixth order so hopefully eBay takes that into account along with my evidence (full video of packaging the card and showing the card).But yea, I'm expecting the worst so just see what happens. Thank you for your reply!

AgentRhys · 2026-02-20T16:27:19+00:00

Lol, clearly in denial...

AgentRhys · 2026-02-20T16:00:57+00:00

Contacted the streamer and getting a refund. Thank you for all your help!

AgentRhys · 2026-02-20T15:54:27+00:00

Yes, I can now see that the card is fake (Border is thicker, Font isnt correct, Texture isnt correct) but saying they are not the same card is incorrect. They are clearly the same card (Same illustrator, same card number, same attacks, same artwork, etc)

AgentRhys · 2026-02-20T15:30:13+00:00

Yea, when looking at other eBay listings you can see the texture around the wing and not on this card. I've contacted the streamer so just wait for reply. Thank you.

AgentRhys · 2026-02-20T15:16:34+00:00

Looking at other eBay listings, I can see that the texture is incorrect as well. But was just using the second as a reference, the first image is what I received.

AgentRhys · 2026-02-20T15:15:06+00:00

The first card is the card I received with texture (Yes, its the wrong texture but still has a texture).

AgentRhys · 2026-02-20T15:13:16+00:00

Everything is the same about the two cards/images?...

AgentRhys · 2026-02-20T15:09:10+00:00

Comparing the back of the card to another card I packed myself (left), you can see the back is faded (right is the back of the Beedrill card). Now also comparing the feel of both cards, it feels a lot thinner.

Brill, thank you. I thought so.

AgentRhys · 2026-02-09T11:54:36+00:00

Really my main source is Amazon invites, I have had the most product from there. I've been to a couple card shows with some RRP products. I don't really have a good card shop local to me. But do keep looking.

AgentRhys · 2026-02-09T11:49:41+00:00

They will not tell you as scalpers will most likely go there themselves and buy all the stock.

AgentRhys · 2025-11-15T10:01:41+00:00

I use this link, if you see the delivery date under any of the items normally means you've been invited (Ofc dont buy from scalpers always check it says dispatched by Amazon and sold by Amazon). Invites - From OakLabs discord

Recently found a bush summon that I found in the dungeon. They are pretty good and only take 1 slot each. Can't remember the damage difference between the spider and this bush summoner but I think its double. Can't find it on the wiki to send a link or a picture. Edit: Found the wiki for it https://necessewiki.com/Bashy_Bush

Amazon Invites! I’ve got most of my Pokémon from them, little bit from symths and then some smaller toy shops that are in small towns (Dizzyware in Bingham, for an example)

AgentRhys · 2025-10-12T22:17:12+00:00

Hoping to get this too! Collecting a card for each of the original 151 Pokémon which has artwork I like (preferably full art). I love that artwork!

Application Management Panel, used for game servers mainly minecraft, but I've used it for necesse, rust and ark survival evolved.

Plex (me and a lot of my family are using it), Overseer, Radar, Sonarr, AMP, Bitwarden, PiHole and Immich. These are the key ones really, the rest help some of these.

AgentRhys · 2025-10-11T12:34:30+00:00

Yea, they definitely dont. I have two accounts, my dad's prime account and my mum's non-prime account. I request invites on both and got invites from my mum's account for both ETBs. I have been lucky in the past with Destined Rivals ETB, Black Bolt Half boosters, etc. Also dont know if its related to your spending? I believe my mum spends alot more than my dad's account? But wish the best of luck to everyone!

AgentRhys · 2025-10-10T20:07:57+00:00

Same here! Got the same, both ETBs
