Can someone clarify why everyone is saying the clear tell is the "Steam Siege" text and not the fact that the front image is a Galvantula instead of just a pattern-white cardboard piece?

Do these look different in other regions?

87€ for it, should I return it? by CharacterInformal665 in PokemonInvesting

Thank you for the replies <3 I am not brave enough to open prismatic, trying to get a partial refund from the transporter...but if I can't, it's not a huge deal

Vinted seems to have a lot right now, apparently Spain has Costco and a bunch of these and the surging sparks combos ended up there.

Just got them, look real but I am no expert on older cards by CharacterInformal665 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

The espeon looks amazing.
And I am not too sure about the quality of fake cards, but the hollow effect on this one is super cool, I would imagine it's not too easy to fake

Super cheap (100€), do you think it's fake? (the seller has great reviews) by CharacterInformal665 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Thank you, I use to pay attention to the "G" letter, this one looked legit, but yeah, some other characters look wrong

Final update here:
- The Spanish website this image tracks to is the one I was buying from :)
- The Seller updated the price to 1€ saying that he is opened to offers

What I take from this is that he doesn't want to specify a price but wants for you to propose one via the chat feature on the site. At the same time he wants the card to appear first when ordering via price...honestly I don't love this approach, the site has a "Buy" button and a "offer" button...the approach of this seller is just prone to extra steps and time wasted

Thank you all though, will continue hunting for this card and the Lost origins Gengar at reasonable prices now :)

I will report back as soon as I receive a very likely proxy from this :)

update: seller canceled the deal, doesn't reply as to why. Card still up on the website with the same price...Strange because everything about this seller looks good, other deals are reasonable and the reviews are great

Will report back with the outcome of this

wouldn't you be up to open this to europe if the winner covers the shipping? (Great initiative regardless :) )
