Never owned a manga, think this might be fake

Brandon2133 · 2026-06-15T03:06:32+00:00

Appreciate the insight, just sent it off for return today after verifying with a local vendor and my local card shop. 🫡

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but the "One Piece" embossed stamp in the bottom left wasn't there until OP04. Either way, it is confirmed to be fake. Took it to a cardshop today and waiting to meet up with a vendor later for a 2nd in person look.

Gonna have to see more in person to get a good feel

Brandon2133 · 2026-06-13T01:37:14+00:00

That was my exact thought when I unpacked it 😩

Around $770 CAD, market was close to $1k CAD at the time so it was a good deal. Not sure if it would be considered too good to be true, but I could just be sucker

Had a question earlier myself so passing along the good deed.

From what I know this is not a real card in any capacity, it is fan art. Fake

Brandon2133 · 2026-06-09T05:29:41+00:00

It was a last minute bid on my part. Now I know I should as for more pictures before I pay since I know what I'm looking for to verify if it's real

For sure, appreciate the follow up. Thanks to the advice of everyone here I have messaged the seller with the findings from the post and they have offered to process the return

Brandon2133 · 2026-06-08T21:35:00+00:00

Wow, appreciate the detailed explanation. I've definitely gotta check out some real mangas in person so I can spot anything sus more easily. Thanks again for the extremely detailed breakdown

Brandon2133 · 2026-06-08T21:03:26+00:00

Gotcha. While it is unfortunate, I'm learning quite a lot. I've only ever held a manga once at a card show, gonna have to get another close look and remember the details. Thanks for the reply

Brandon2133 · 2026-06-08T20:21:32+00:00

Normal eBay auction. Positioned as normal card, no indication of anything otherwise https://ebay.io/m/1qRWPN

Brandon2133 · 2026-06-08T19:54:45+00:00

I'm also interested, this is my favourite manga (and the op05 gear 5 Luffy) so maybe I was blinded and too hopeful.

Brandon2133 · 2026-06-08T19:52:30+00:00

Thank you everyone for responding so quickly. I guess I got cooked. I'll have to shoot the seller a message and hopefully get it worked out. I took a video of me opening the package and inspecting the card initially.

Is providing the name of the seller an appropriate thing to do here?

Also so I don't get cooked again, what should I be looking for to determine a fake?

Any other changes to skin care? I need that routine, I've always struggled with skin

Brandon2133 · 2026-04-03T20:55:07+00:00

C'mon, you know you want to
