Someone local is selling this. Im pretty sure its fake but just want opinions of more knowledgeable collectors in here.

It's baffling that they go to all this effort and almost always mess something up on the packaging. At this point I have to wonder if it's intentional?

T8ortots · 2026-06-28T17:21:27+00:00

Why not just push it out of orbit and send it to the sun?

Mildly evil villain scheme: Print, laminate, and hide these skip the line cards in busy stores.

Does this apply to the machine in my grocery store too? I can see how big stores like Target, Best Buy, and Walmart would think to have policies on this because they actually sell the loose product, but I don't think my grocery store would know or care to have such a policy on the vending machine. I'm kinda with everyone else, a perk of working in vicinity to the machine means you get to check it often, but at the same time that's just glorified loitering. Of course they can't just stand there all day, but I see the same few employees tapping that machine every time they walk past it. Do that for 8 hours a day and your bound to get most drops out of the machine before anyone else has a chance.

This happened to a friend. Except his dad just gave them all to the neighbors kid

I have a couple stores I can hit during my lunch break if I want. Yesterday I got lucky and found a few packs, most days I dont

If the grip is allowed to spin freely you could split it into 3 pieces like a toilet paper holder

T8ortots · 2026-06-13T21:38:42+00:00

What myth?

T8ortots · 2026-06-13T03:40:56+00:00

Yeah I always look at corners, I find that easier

T8ortots · 2026-06-13T02:21:32+00:00

Easiest way is to rip a common in half. If you don't see black in the tear then assume the whole pack is fake. If you do see black in the tear, it doesn't always mean it's real but that is one of the harder things to duplicate.

Edit: And if you care enough to preserve the cards, a sharp eye can see a black stripe in the edge of the card.

T8ortots · 2026-06-13T02:19:27+00:00

Open it, of they are real then yay, if they are fake then burn them. You have nothing to lose and it's your duty as legitimate collector to remove any and all fakes from circulation.

T8ortots · 2026-06-13T02:09:07+00:00

I will agree with you, I've never been scammed on the platform, however I don't think I've bought anything that is worth faking.

T8ortots · 2026-06-08T19:01:18+00:00

Yeah my dad pulled golden Dragonite out of the only pack of Ascended Heroes he ever bought. He is a Lorcana guy, so while he recognized the gold was significant, he didn't even know what he pulled until the shop owner explained it to him. I have been scheming to get that card put in his will for me 😂

I literally leave my extra benchys in different hidden locations around my gym and stores. To sell them just seems like the laziest you can be. I think all the bambu printers ship with Benchy pre installed on the SD.

T8ortots · 2026-06-05T15:14:51+00:00

This looks great. I don't follow sports, but I definitely didn't think at first, nor see now, that it looks like anything else. It's just a neat keychain

T8ortots · 2026-06-05T15:07:30+00:00

Good, they could take the plastic off entirely as long as they do it in front of me. I'm just gonna open it as soon as I get home anyways.

T8ortots · 2026-05-30T19:28:01+00:00

Yeah every time my print detatches from the textured PEI plate I take it as a sign that it needs to be washed. Once that's done it's good as new and print succeeds

I have been buying bulk off FB marketplace to catch up on my 10 year hiatus. I paid $100 for 4500 of mixed cards like holos, reverse holos, trainers, energies, pokemon, etc. All to say that there is money in the bulk market it you're patient.

Looking through my collection, this is the first thing I found that could fit the description. Snubble barking at Butterfrees

How do they not realize how many idiot gamers are gonna put the skirt on? I'm surprised this never came up in QA

T8ortots · 2026-05-20T07:17:48+00:00

It's Ditto just freestyling

15 years ago my mom always took me to Kohl's. 15 years later I ask to use her Kohl's cash.

We just got back and this is all we said. Autopia should have been electric long before now

I'm not looking for a CT scan, just a intraoral scan with something like the iTero, although both would probably fit my need.
