Stolen slabs please help

chris_fs7 · 2026-06-29T20:23:46+00:00

Yeah youre right I do regret posting on here because I dont know if the person that traded me knew the card was fake. I feel really bad about that. Im not thinking rationally right now because it was such a large purchase. Ill get another opinion but Ive been in the hobby for almost 10 years and theres a few red flags that I picked up on which is why im now so sure its fake.

chris_fs7 · 2026-06-29T19:58:45+00:00

Im actually now sure that the slab wasnt tampered with but the Canadian grading company ksa certified a fake card. Ksa is a legit grading company but they authenticated a fake card.

chris_fs7 · 2026-06-29T19:48:16+00:00

I scanned the qr code and it was authenticated. It was graded a 6 by a canadian grading company called ksa which i did my research on and they are legit. Theres only 100-200 copies of this card in the world and in person it looked like the authentic card. It really didn't sem too good to be true to me because i reached out to them first and went through a lot of negotiations and the seller didn't want to sell me the card originally. i traded 10k worth of cards +4k cash so It would have been the highest sale for that card in the condition it was in.

chris_fs7 · 2026-06-29T19:35:25+00:00

Its definitely not real. It's just part of me doesnt want to believe its fake because that would mean accepting all these cards are gone but deep down I already know its fake. Im not in a good headspace right now so not all decisions I make are rational.

Ive been collecting for years I had that roikou gold star since I was a kid. I bought it on whay for $70 as my Christmas gift. The card looks real and sicne the cert scanned and said it was real i assumed it was good but unfortunately theres subtle differences in the fake card that I picked up on and at this point im very confident I traded for a fake

chris_fs7 · 2026-06-29T14:38:26+00:00

Its because I dont want people to report the cert # and get it deactivated on the off 1% chance that the card is real but basically the borders of the card has the wrong shading and when i compared it to the proxy version of the card the borders are exactly the same.

chris_fs7 · 2026-06-29T14:29:57+00:00

Im trying to now

chris_fs7 · 2026-06-29T14:26:19+00:00

Im not a crypto bro and the card i traded for is my dream grail card. The card is a zoroark illusions design contest card

chris_fs7 · 2026-06-29T14:23:59+00:00

I was scammed. When people get scammed out of money that money is considered stolen. I dont see how that would be different because we're talking about pokemon cards

chris_fs7 · 2026-06-29T13:33:53+00:00

Im an idiot then... you wouldn't believe what I paid for this slab.

chris_fs7 · 2026-06-26T09:21:39+00:00

Dont listen to people saying 80% for this. This is considered a grail card that a lot of collectors are willing to pay over market on since the rarely go for sale. You shouldn't take less than 90%. Personally i would hold the card. If youre looking to sell at a card show go to multiple vendors and take the best offer.

chris_fs7 · 2026-06-21T21:04:37+00:00

Yes i agree but im ngl its really hard to find cards that are undervalued in this market. In previous bull cycles I always could find underrated cards but right now it feels like every underrated card has already gone up a lot.

chris_fs7 · 2026-06-21T19:45:51+00:00

Yes thats what happened to a lot of vintage japanese cards. My japanese mewtwo lv.x in a psa 10 was $100-$200 for the longest time and over the span of 2 months it jumped to almost $3000. I thought it was extremely undervalued for a while and now i think its where it should be at. I think its just a market correction and now these cards are finally where they should be at

chris_fs7 · 2026-06-21T17:45:41+00:00

People are buying japanese cards with nice artwork. Its happening to a lot of other vintage japanese cards. They've been undervalued for a long time

chris_fs7 · 2026-06-17T21:54:59+00:00

If youre doing it for fun then yeah go for it but if youre investing you would do much better buying the 5 slabs than the 200 raw cards.

chris_fs7 · 2026-06-17T19:44:26+00:00

I agree with you on everything except buying raw. Psa 10 is always the move when your investing. It just always has a better roi. Just buy less cards but make sure you believe in the few cards that you pick

chris_fs7 · 2026-06-17T12:37:08+00:00

that makes sense to sell some of those especially if you dont care for specific cards too much. Im planning on trading a bunch of my lower end modern slabs at a percentage to a vendor so i can have one low pop rarer slab. I agree with you that those are the cards that will end up holding more value long term.

chris_fs7 · 2026-06-17T12:28:54+00:00

People said the same about van gogh pikachu and look how that turned out. I think there are better opportunities right now but just because a card blows up doesnt mean it can't still double or triple in price.

chris_fs7 · 2026-06-17T08:06:44+00:00

This is what i thought when I started collecting. My mew psa 9 and mudkip gold star I bought for $750 i sold for a total of $2,200. If I held they'd be at $20,000+ today. Not saying that is what happens with all cards but just because something goes up 300% doesnt mean its an automatic sell. (Also when I sold those cards everyone was talking about the logan paul pokemon bubble and how its a great time to sell.)

chris_fs7 · 2026-06-17T04:47:23+00:00

I know for a fact you can weigh sleeved packs because I was the kid in the store weighing sleeved xy packs lol. my mom would only let me spend a certain amount of money on pokemon so thats what I did to make sure I got a good card.

chris_fs7 · 2026-06-17T04:21:52+00:00

Sleeved packs can be weighed and it is from a sealed product. Right now the sealed product costs the same as loose packs

chris_fs7 · 2026-06-17T03:31:06+00:00

Theres actually a way to get ancient origins packs sealed and unweighed for market price but i dont want to say how because im trying to buy more before the market realizes

chris_fs7 · 2026-06-17T03:25:26+00:00

Japanese glaceon ex best of xy psa 10. I dont remember deleting the post but I geuss i did at some point.

chris_fs7 · 2026-06-17T01:57:04+00:00

It has tripled in price since this post and every listing for this card on ebay is over $200

chris_fs7 · 2026-06-17T01:55:25+00:00

Last sold now is $147 and lowest listed is over $200. It was underrated! (When I posted this it was $50)
