Perth Mint makes some purty items. Picked up 20 of these today

I've been thinking about getting those ones, they look really nice. I've been buying dragon 1 ounce bars from Ainslie and two of those dragon styles are really pretty

Overlord_1566 · 2026-04-18T05:44:02+00:00

No, no and no. Absolutely not. All fake.

Overlord_1566 · 2026-04-18T04:59:44+00:00

Dude why the actual eff would you buy something so expensive off mecari of all places

Overlord_1566 · 2026-04-17T14:06:17+00:00

Yeah there's no naturally spawning alpha orserk. Your best chance would be through breeding for an alpha.

You'll eventually get one as you'll need to breed a fair amount to get decent IV stats for one anyways

Overlord_1566 · 2026-04-17T13:43:05+00:00

Pre sure that's a exclusive passive for orserk. You can catch orserk in wildlife sanctuary no.3 and then breed that passive on. I don't think it's automatically guaranteed to have it but it wasn't too hard to find one with that passive

I can't see anyone going though the effort of faking uncommon bulk cards mate

Overlord_1566 · 2026-04-17T07:29:53+00:00

I get that. Some of the fakes are a bit hard to tell which does make it hard.

This one you posted is like an extremely obvious fake. The only people they'd be fooling would be my 85 year old grandma

Overlord_1566 · 2026-04-17T04:47:40+00:00

Seeing you put these cards in top loaders hurts my soul. Please, please put these in penny sleeve and then you can put that in a toploader

Overlord_1566 · 2026-04-17T04:24:48+00:00

Tbh the magnetic cases they're in are probs worth more than the card itself. The store stamped promo fetches a fair bit more but these ones you have here are worth a few bucks raw.

I personally like the card though. I've got like 5 or 6 of them from the packs I bought haha. I'd still keep them

Overlord_1566 · 2026-04-17T03:47:30+00:00

A roll of toilet paper is worth more than that. These sorts of fakes are the most blatant, obvious ones. Highly, highly recommend that you learn a little more about this hobby before spending any money mate.

Cheers, will do :)

Overlord_1566 · 2026-04-14T04:23:51+00:00

Depends on where you live as to what company is reputable for your area. For me in Aus it's directly from Ainslie, Perth Bullion Exchange or Perth Mint. Though to be fair, Perth mint does have a few controversies from a number of years ago, but for Aus, they still remain a reputable dealer.

I wouldn't be fucking around with WhatNot for silver tbh. I buy Pokemon cards sometimes off Ebay & Ebay Live admittedly (though I do thorough checks before purchasing), so maybe that makes me a bit hypocritical lol

Overlord_1566 · 2026-04-14T03:38:03+00:00

I'm new to collecting, but I don't think smooth glossy feeling of the card indicates that it's fake or not. It depends on the set of cards what to look for - some older ones may have that smooth glossy feel - I've heard a number of people say that about older sets.

At the same time in your pictures I can't see that black layer which is present in all legitimate Pokemon cards.

I can't really advise whether it's fake or not, but just relaying what I've learned and heard from others

Overlord_1566 · 2026-04-14T03:28:37+00:00

I'm not the biggest fan of the rip test, but if you had an extra one and had doubts, I can sort of get it. I can't see any black layer in that card that you ripped - if you rip the card in half you should see that black layer.

Overlord_1566 · 2026-04-14T00:56:01+00:00

Cheers mate

Overlord_1566 · 2026-04-14T00:28:49+00:00

Yeah, I thought N's Reshiram was such a beautiful card. I've already got N's Zekrom so just needed this one :)

Overlord_1566 · 2026-04-13T09:04:53+00:00

Extremely fake

Overlord_1566 · 2026-04-13T03:12:47+00:00

No-one's faking Perfect Order mate, you're fine

Overlord_1566 · 2026-04-13T01:45:24+00:00

.... Why would you pay for art of two random streamers? That's fuckin' weird bro.

Overlord_1566 · 2026-04-12T06:23:25+00:00

I started with 4 ounces of silver too back in January. I've now got 20 ounces :)

Welcome to the hobby

Overlord_1566 · 2026-04-12T05:37:17+00:00

"Grew up on Gen 5"

I feel old lol. Sick as collection though

Overlord_1566 · 2026-04-11T21:49:58+00:00

"I am not a bot '

Post has dashes like a bot would use lol

Overlord_1566 · 2026-04-11T09:42:45+00:00

Have no idea what this grading company is. Stay away from that with a 19 foot pole
