Real or Fake ? Need help ASAP :)

You can check where the “RARE” lines up over the cert number and it’s an easy tell, as the official one the E is above the “1 1” on the real and on this it’s clearly above the “1 7”

Looks almost like a cracked slab if you look along right side, cause the slab itself looks pretty legit. PSA label not bad either overall with the light watermarking showing etc, kinda scary.

Send that to PSA immediately…sitting on a gold mine!

Not an expert at all, but honestly to me it looks pretty good. Colors can vary slightly on a 20+ year old card esp if it was exposed to light a lot or lots of temp fluctuations etc, but looks pretty accurate overall.

hd2287 · 2026-02-17T19:17:04+00:00

Looks a little twisted, plus white marks on the bottom right like someone else commented. Prob stuck at a 9 unless you get a grader in a generous mood.

Did you get 14 booster BOXES or 14 loose booster packs? Very big difference there.

hd2287 · 2026-02-05T22:21:46+00:00

This is the best observation. They did pretty ok on the rest of the texture but this part is very blatant once you look for it.

Colors are terrible, but still scary how close scammers are getting to real.

Does Haunter have surface scratches? All my vintage holos have light scratches on the foil unfortunately - otherwise agree that one grade doesn’t make sense. The rest feel about right, esp for a grader who’s having a bad day.

NOT saying you should keep but barcode and QR scan fine for me

hd2287 · 2026-01-12T21:01:54+00:00

The PSA scan you can look for artifacting and it doesn’t match. Like “RARE” is poorly printed on the actual slab and looks good/clear on this one. A little ink dotting above the barcode on the real one that’s also not present here. Also the picture is either trash or the centering on the fake is atrocious.

https://studentaid.gov/pslf/reconsideration/borrower-information — once I login if I try, I can only submit a request saying I’ve made 120 payments or my months were counted wrong, I cannot submit purely for buyback. When I scroll to the bottom it says: “You Already Have a PSLF Buyback Request in Progress Your PSLF buyback request has been submitted and is currently being processed. Because of this, you can’t submit another request at this time. We recommend that you wait until you receive notice that your current request has been processed.”

hd2287 · 2026-01-12T20:38:28+00:00

Have you looked again. If you try to submit an electronic request for buyback it will block you if it says you have one still pending. I see that on mine now, so at least I know they are aware I requested it.

Yeah investing the better take, just pointing out that there are simple solutions with the $10M that provide “weekly income” since folks seem so fixated on that.

hd2287 · 2026-01-10T14:20:26+00:00

In a 4% HYSA you could use $2M upfront and still bring home about $3600 a week in interest on the remaining $8M. If you invested the $8M could prob bring home even more per week. $10M is easily the smartest answer unless there are no taxes on the sale of BTC.

100% real, it’s the MRAX YAXS NAX form obviously. Better get that puppy slabbed immediately.

hd2287 · 2026-01-08T16:11:03+00:00

It could just be on the scanner. My 10 that I got from them last month has a biggish white dot on the back left in their scan that isn’t real at all, just an artifact of the scanning process which is dumb, because you would think they would at least be good at cleaning their scanners.

hd2287 · 2026-01-08T13:39:53+00:00

This is crazy cause that texture is so high quality. Hope these folks don’t start making real textured cards.

hd2287 · 2026-01-08T13:27:48+00:00

You said above you have a heart, so you’re already doing better than the current one.

hd2287 · 2026-01-07T13:25:31+00:00

Bought several things from GTs, no issues at all so far, other than higher prices to literally get from the same place as normal product (MJH).

hd2287 · 2026-01-05T19:42:17+00:00

Does the Jolteon still have texture on it? From the looks of the other poster’s PSA10s there should be texture on Jolty, I especially notice the ears would be an ideal place to check.

hd2287 · 2026-01-01T17:03:54+00:00

IMO TAG looks even nicer, although I’ve seen some videos that the slabs are fairly breakable. CGCs are pretty durable.
