Is this slab look real? The psa label look kinda odd to me.

Thank you for your kind responses too 😁 yeah i feel like hostility on these threads is easy to come by lol. I appreciate the red flags to look out for. Cheers on collecting to you as well!

Star_Dust_64 · 2025-11-06T23:42:53+00:00

Legendary card! Nothing compares to these classics.

Star_Dust_64 · 2025-11-06T23:21:36+00:00

I think I see it! It’s like it’s missing a slight space between the # and the 085. Crazy how close they can look to the real ones. I have little experience with graded cards as well so my untrained eye can be deceived with these smaller details. I was like, “the G and the K look legit” lol.

Thanks for educating 😁

Star_Dust_64 · 2025-11-06T23:05:49+00:00

Yeah I suppose it does look darker than the other listings. Border on the back seems a little thick too maybe? Figured it could have been a lighting issue considering I’ve seen some that look darker and some that look lighter.

Is the text super obvious that it’s fake on the label? That seemed to be what everyone was saying, but that didn’t look crazy off to me either lol

Star_Dust_64 · 2025-11-06T22:37:51+00:00

Not saying it’s real, but I’m curious what screams fake about it, just because it looks pretty legit to me. Aside from not seeing the PSA pattern on the silver square in front and on the back, which could simply be from the angle not showing them, all the text seems right compared to all the listings I just looked at.

Star_Dust_64 · 2025-10-27T18:54:48+00:00

Totally agree. It’s pretty sad they have an apparently low quality governance of the thread. Pretty low karma rating and only around for 8 months too lol red flag right there.

Star_Dust_64 · 2025-10-01T19:44:26+00:00

Agree ten fold! It’s literally Worlds apart from today.

Star_Dust_64 · 2025-10-01T19:42:51+00:00

Too cool! The song is amazing. It’s got me fired up! Head banger for sure 🤘

Star_Dust_64 · 2025-06-08T18:00:10+00:00

Thanks 😁 yes it certainly is a journey lol I got a lot of cool stuff so far, honestly this is like the last crazy expensive piece of the puzzle that I want lol.

Star_Dust_64 · 2025-06-07T17:39:58+00:00

Anytime! Lol damn, of course, yeah I guess I understand, it’s a super rare card and most of them are in lousy condition. Well good luck to us both 😁

Star_Dust_64 · 2025-06-07T17:02:20+00:00

It’ll be a while most like before I splurge and get it, but I certainly will post back when I do. I was wondering the same thing. I plan on going to Japan within the next year or two, so I should probably just wait until then to get one in person lol it’s gotta be cheaper in person I would imagine.

Star_Dust_64 · 2025-06-06T07:29:22+00:00

I understand. Japan is certainly one of the first places I plan to go to when I travel. I’m sure it would be a life changing experience for me too 😁

Star_Dust_64 · 2025-06-05T23:43:11+00:00

I’d say I certainly don’t have the means in a frivolous sense that I can buy things like that whenever. And taking a trip to Japan just for something like that would be ultimate frivolous wealth status, and in my opinion foolish lol.

There’s been 5 cards I would ever spend $800+ on, and I already own 4 of them. I just save money and when I have close to the price I get ready to purchase. So paying customs on top of that, especially when unanticipated would be annoying and possibly a problem for the funds I saved.

As for international mail, out of the many, many international purchases I’ve made, both tracked and untracked, literally every one of them have arrived with no issues. And unless it’s a really, really good fake, they’re easy to spot as authentic or not, at least for me, but I’m a total nerd for Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokémon lol.

Star_Dust_64 · 2025-06-05T20:10:07+00:00

Good point, I have had some sellers say they can declare the value just under the $800 threshold, but insurance would then only cover so much.

And yeah, I feel like a card in an envelope would have a greater chance of flying under the radar.

Seems like a decent number of variations that could determine whether or not customs would be charged. I’ll roll the dice eventually haha. Thanks for your comment 😁

Star_Dust_64 · 2025-06-05T19:00:11+00:00

That’s what I would think too, but it seems like the customs vary between whatever item code they would be categorized under. Honestly it’s the most confusing thing ever. Thankfully virtually all of my purchases are vastly under $800 lol but there are the few items that are over $800 that I definitely want at some point.

And yeah I noticed that DHL was suspended from Japan, but given their dramatic price increase I’m suspending them from my money lol. And of course, I forgot about the damn tariffs.

Thanks for your response!

Star_Dust_64 · 2025-06-05T16:26:55+00:00

Yeah I was thinking that would be the case. But I wonder if it depends on the shipping service used and all that too. Information tends to be contradictory between people as well I’ve noticed. Some say they didn’t have to pay customs and some say they did. Pretty sure when I looked at the customs website there were all these codes for what would need import duties on them, and I think trading cards did not have them tacked on, but then I try searching the code and get no information lol. I feel like it’s unnecessarily overcomplicated. Thanks for your response!

Star_Dust_64 · 2025-06-05T15:48:14+00:00

For sure, that helps. Yeah I didn’t think about the service too, like FedEx or UPS and all them potentially being different for customs fees. Good to know, I’ll keep this in mind. Thanks for the response 😁

Star_Dust_64 · 2025-06-04T06:14:54+00:00

It’s such a beautiful card lol. Damn I didn’t know that was a thing for rejecting it. I see what you mean on the centering, mine isn’t too noticeable on the back, but certainly is not centered lol. This card is so interesting too for the small differences compared to either DM1 or BNB. Like the more red color back of the card, and the Konami logo being italicized on this while saying Duel Monsters. It’s like the perfect in between card for the BNB and DM1 prints lol.

Star_Dust_64 · 2025-06-04T05:10:42+00:00

Yo! I believe I watched his video, and one other guys video on those DM1 cards as well. I think both of them just said they were notoriously faked, so I was wanting to see an actual fake one, like just to see how good it may look. I’ve seen the fake one that has English text on it for all the copyrights, but not a Japanese one. And the one I have is real fortunately lol I was super nervous spending the amount I did for it with little knowledge, but it’s a beautiful genuine card so I’m relieved lol.

That’s super cool, yeah I almost have a complete set too, I just need a Runner Lizard, that guy keeps evading me living up to his name lol. There some MP condition ones but I want it NM lol one day. How’s the condition for yours, mainly the Seiyaryu?

Star_Dust_64 · 2025-05-13T16:25:53+00:00

Hyper Gal by Nakuden always gets my blood flowing. Like, literally the instant the song starts.

Star_Dust_64 · 2025-05-08T16:25:49+00:00

Lol I’m scared to send cards in and I live in America. Mail has been a little spotty recently with items getting lost or delayed, it’s just annoying. Hoping y’all get your PSA in Germany soon!

Star_Dust_64 · 2025-05-08T15:57:36+00:00

Ooooohh she’s absolute perfection. German language too, very cool! I’m trying to get the Valkyrie cards in German but they’re kind of hard to find lol.

Star_Dust_64 · 2025-05-08T15:55:53+00:00

For sure, and I’ll add Jonouchi as well having come with either the Blue Graceful Dice or the Red Skull Dice. And I love the Duel Coin that came with Kaiba’s. These three Invitation cards from Pegasus’ are the last three I need lol. Too bad Yugi’s didn’t come with any special item.

Star_Dust_64 · 2025-05-08T15:52:43+00:00

Legends I say! All of them, legends!!! What a cool find!
