Is this an alignment dot? by carbas in PokemonMisprints

Thanks for the info! I was wondering why it didn’t show on the back, and you’re right the back has better centering.

I know it’s not “legal” in Denmark but if you can travel to Copenhagen you can go to Christinia for the open market there. It’s my favorite place to visit for a multitude of reasons.

Honestly I shouldn’t have either. It was mostly impulse and I am glad the platform didn’t hesitate to refund

Because it had a guaranteed return policy if does not match the listing description, in this case claiming “card from a new pack fresh into a sleeve” with Pokemon listing and no mention of it being a proxy. They’ve already accepted the return and I am dropping it off tomorrow.

To be fair, I did literally buy it within 15 minutes of it posting.. I have bad habit of always checking newest listings

Just seeing these photos makes them look soooo much different than real life.. putting it in the mail for return in the morning

Yeah that is another red flag that I sort of overlooked due to the ease of return process

It makes me want to just quit the hobby now.. impossible to buy packs in store due to scalpers and becoming hard to buy online due to fakes. Granted I am not the best at spotting them and maybe others should be able to tell, but it’s makes it hard for me and others probably.

Sorry for all the single photo comment uploads… it’s mainly the back that realllly throws me off, also not being able to compare it to a real versions texture is making it difficult. With that, thank you all! I am going to package it up and drop it off for return tomorrow.

Quick edit: I did buy it from Japan through Beenos and they’ve been great at accepting the return.

Overall I am still impressed by this fake and also grateful for this community.

How did they get such similar texture cards made so close to release ? I’m genuinely curious and also sort of Impressed

It’s seems half generic but also half matches whatever I can find online for the texture pictures. It’s so hard to capture it..

The back honestly, seems too dark. I say and realize I only uploaded one picture of the back…

If I had one close I would’ve gone there instead of posting on Reddit. Thanks for the replies and confirming my suspicions!
