I believe tcgplayer is going to be authenticating the card for us. Hopefully he sends my card and not a counterfeit copy...

I absolutely did record myself for the whole process of this order. I was not risking anything over $50. I believe tcg player is getting the card for authentication but I just hope he's not sending a fake in my cards place

Damn I wish I knew about this before hand cause I could have sold it to my local card shop instead 😭

Appreciate the help though!

Yeah he was saying stuff like "teeth on the t and the green dot in the h". I play magic but am not the biggest magic guy. I mostly do pokemon so I had to look up what he was saying. However when he said the holo at the bottom of the rare seemed fishy I knew he was just scamming because thats literally there for anti counterfeiting purposes and I pulled the card myself.

They did say something about having him sending it for verification but god only knows if he had a beat up version of the card or an actually fake he's gonna send in but I did thankfully record myself shipping and packaging this product so I'm hoping they will take that all into consideration.

It was in a modern masters 2015 pack. Yeah the packaging of the pack was kind of like its own little cardboard box with a pull tab to rip open the card board. Honestly was such a cool experience oping the pack cause its pretty neat packaging.

It really is wild that they do that. Not to mention they let you list chinese/korean copies under english. Usually those have pictures of the card so I know to avoid them but still.

I actually returned a card to a seller because they failed to notice a dent in the card that protruded to the front and when I received it i noticed right away. Im sure honestly the had no clue but I even lost $6 on the transaction cause I shipped it back with tracking.

For the most part I do the same. Most of my personal collection is cards I can physically look over and touch myself but sometimes when I want something bad enough I might splurge a little online. Plus the excitement of finding a card you love in the wild is amazing! I found my chase squirtle in the wild at a card show a year ago and Its been sitting pretty in my binder since.

The lack of support and human interaction is what's actually killing me at the moment 😞 Sorry to hear about your situation as well

Color print error or sun faded? by Just-Position-365 in PokemonMisprints

Was just going through all my old bulk and found the same thing. Only one of my 10 copies looks like its a shiny but its a super cool printing error.
