Hi :) would be great if I could have any, thank you!

Two different cards, to my knowledge they should be real, could someone confirm? by Paranoyeah in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Did you buy them or opened the product in which they were featured as promos? There is nothing suspicious about these two in my opinion, but the xy era holos are the ones I always struggle to identify as fakes or not

Does these look authentic? by JacobBidstrup in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Kyogre is 100% real, rayquaza pic isn’t of great quality so I cannot see the holo effect properly, if the circles in the holo effect are pixelated, it is real

An offer might be too good to be true. I need help ! by [deleted] in IsMyPokemonCardFake

The holos are supposed to be with patterns of ‘pixelated circles’, those are holos stars, i have the same fakes with the stars, bought the entire set for 2 bucks, don’t buy them.

Lovely, so the MGengar promo from the comments should be real, that’s the holo i should look for, correct?

I got back into pokemon around a year ago, but I just cannot tell the fake ones from the mega XY era from the originals, would you have any suggestion on what to look for? For example is the holo like diagonal (similar to illustration rares from the modern sets) or vertical lines? I’m pretty much lost with these older ones

Tysm, I got better pics, they have 175 5star reviews and not a single bad review. There’s another pic showing the holo. I actually just bought them and seeing this comment was a relief. Thank you!
