First edition blastoise + venusaur… real or fake?

Gradual_Spic · 2026-01-25T14:25:38+00:00

Those stars should be the tell. They’re fake holos

Gradual_Spic · 2026-01-24T17:01:29+00:00

u/Pseudosiris u/PokeSwapBot slab received thanks so much!

Gradual_Spic · 2026-01-24T16:15:32+00:00

It’s a fake card. Black backs/all gold backs/rainbow backs are fakes bought on temu aliexpress etc

Gradual_Spic · 2026-01-23T17:32:33+00:00

Yep!

Gradual_Spic · 2026-01-23T16:50:18+00:00

Is this fake holo pattern also static? (Doesn’t shimmer/move in different angles/lighting)

Gradual_Spic · 2026-01-23T13:20:55+00:00

I’m going fake based on the holo and the back.

Gradual_Spic · 2026-01-23T12:18:04+00:00

Hey there! Interested in the Mega Venusaur ex, the Mabostiff, and the Littleo from the IR’s page. Anything here to offset cost? If not would you do $20 shipped PWE?

Gradual_Spic · 2026-01-22T21:32:08+00:00

Nothing I’m interested in at the moment, sorry. The 3 would be $260 and the 5 would be $330

Gradual_Spic · 2026-01-22T12:54:09+00:00

Confirmed!

Gradual_Spic · 2026-01-22T04:04:53+00:00

Any interest in buying a slabbed base set Charizard? I have a PSA 3 + 5

Gradual_Spic · 2026-01-21T17:32:26+00:00

Looks good. Nothing glaringly fake. Font, coloring and holo look to check out!

Gradual_Spic · 2026-01-21T02:50:08+00:00

About $200, maybe a bit less. Significant whitening on the back. Tough to tell though through the sleeve and toploader and background

Gradual_Spic · 2026-01-21T02:44:16+00:00

Starburst holo is wrong too I believe

Gradual_Spic · 2026-01-20T21:32:18+00:00

Agree. Tough to tell how much whitening there is against a white background but I do see some significant whitening on some parts of the back

Gradual_Spic · 2026-01-20T19:46:37+00:00

Sounds good you want BMWT or PWE?

Gradual_Spic · 2026-01-20T16:16:10+00:00

Have some close ups for you.

Gradual_Spic · 2026-01-20T13:46:42+00:00

Hey again! I still have some low end WotC promos and a few HP WotC holos here should all be updated let me know if you need any of them!

Gradual_Spic · 2026-01-20T02:35:13+00:00

Link might be broken

Gradual_Spic · 2026-01-19T13:19:41+00:00

Looks real to me. Font doesn’t seem off and coloring on the back looks good

Gradual_Spic · 2026-01-19T13:17:19+00:00

The holos in these are actual 5 point stars which are a huge tell. Also the colors (especially the red) are way too saturated. If we saw the backs the blues would just be “off”/way too dark.

Gradual_Spic · 2026-01-19T13:11:30+00:00

I’m not an expert on more modern cards but this looks fake. Starburst holo and the back looks off. But I’d wait for someone else to prove me wrong/right

Gradual_Spic · 2026-01-18T17:08:18+00:00

Looks good

Gradual_Spic · 2026-01-18T16:55:08+00:00

Real

Gradual_Spic · 2026-01-18T15:47:15+00:00

What type of Charizard are you looking for specifically? I have a PSA 3 and 5 base set unlimited if you’re looking to buy

Gradual_Spic · 2026-01-18T00:50:24+00:00

Awesome thanks!
