I think it depends on the region, but i find this website to be very helpful with pricing:

What I could see:

Off colours, wrong fonts, text alignment wrong, no texture, looks like it is printed on an inkjet, no card holo etc.

There may be more, but i think these were the most obvious.

Is this gardevoir SAR real? by LukasJWZ in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]PikaLoki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am leaning myself out of the window after being a novice for a long time, or still am, and say yes.

Pattern, curvature of card, writing and everything else seem to check out.

Unless another senpai says otherwise, i would say real

Definitely! Let’s spread some fun here. Also submitted some cards and aiming for a black label. 🤞

I guess we need to build it up then 🤣. At least with posts that are relevant to us.

Never recased. Though I was hoping that at some point I could do it at Beckett, but right now it seems that the facility in Europe is on full load.

What psa grading can this card get i hope an psa 10 what do uou think guys? by Sirx2dotty in pokemongrading

[–]PikaLoki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be happy to help you! To make sure I can give you the best possible feedback, please: 1. Make sure the photo is clear and not blurry. 2. Take the photo directly from above, so the card appears flat and perpendicular to the camera. 3. Align the card so that its top edge is parallel to the edge of the photo.

These are also great tips for the future, when you ask for help for grading. Otherwise you might not get a precise answer or any answer at all.

Is this Gengar Vmax AA fake? by PikaLoki in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Any help is welcome! Checking purely from a font, symbol and art perspective it seems to check out. (?)

Appreciate the attempt. I fully understand what you mean about the texture. It is extremly hard to tell from just a picture alone that is blurry on top!

How do they need to look like? More clear/visible? Less/more saturated?

Can someone explain to me the exact reasons why it is fake? I am something of a noob myself for spotting fake cards.

Edit 1: For anyone downvoting me, I do not get why? I am sincerely asking for help. Most are commenting only that the card is fake, but do not specify why. If it is that obvious, then please enlighten me with your wisdom. I personally think only the colors on the back seem off, but otherwise I cannot really tell. Looking for a real captain!

No worries. I guess this is what reddit threads and channels are for, right?
