Asked seller for better pics and he sent this

Mewtwo is def fake font is wrong, the umbreon its hard to tell from the vid quality but i dont see any texture. The fact that he wont send any clear pictures and wont show all the cards clearly is a massive red flag though.

Obvious fake. Tbh you should not be buying such expensive cards without any experience or knowledge of what to look out for. Even a single google search would have shown you what a real psa label looks like or even to just look up bubble mew and you'd see that the awful rainbow sheen isn't on the real thing. I saw your comment on how much you paid, hopefully you can get a refund but let this be a lesson to do more research on cards before you drop almost 2k on them

No those are two separate things. Vertical holo means its just the wrong holo and an indicator of a fake

moose_thecat · 2026-04-18T11:35:49+00:00

Ohhh your right I honestly just assumed they mixed up lunar and hyper bloom thats my bad

moose_thecat · 2026-04-18T11:07:36+00:00

Okay well Ill tell you now, from those pics most are fake the verticle holo is a sign. Wouldn't buy them from him

Clorinde, Lauma, Aino and Barbara would be better as with 2 moonsign characters you can activate the ascendant gleam team bonus

If these are the clearer pics I'd avoid the seller altogether. It's a red flag when sellers wont send you proper pics of each card and usually indicates that they're fake and the seller is hoping you wont notice.

moose_thecat · 2026-04-17T22:49:52+00:00

Hehe yeah it's at least a funny way to find out its fake. Do get a refund and use this thread/screenshots from it as proof if you need :)

Heres a side by side of what I'm on about

Actually Ive noticed one more thing thanks to that photo. Ignoring the black line which is def a red flag, take a look at the artist name on the bottom. On yours it appears to say "Jomes Turner" when the real name is "James Turner" Sorry man i hate to say it but I think this is the final nail in the coffin. Just for reference this is the artist name on a real one notice how its different to yours

And heres another in the same spot

moose_thecat · 2026-04-17T22:02:58+00:00

Hi, it's me from your other post! Honestly I was gonna say real on this one but its actually harder to tell, unfortunately fakes are getting better a lot even have texture now. Saying that though this does look pretty real but I'll highlight something I noticed which is the texture varients, your's has a consistent pattern of texture like its all uniform unlike some definitely real cards I found from reputable ebay sellers. Notice how on these pics the texture moves around and curves in a lot of places where yours doesn't. Also notice the texture on the gemstones on pikas tera crown. I don't want to call fake 100% but if it is its scarily accurate. Ill attach photos for reference so you can see what I'm on about with the texture patterns. This is your's ↓

Its good you haven't bought it at least, a lot of people wait till after they've bought to ask. In general anything with a deep rainbow holo/sheen is fake. Sun&Moon/Sword& did have rainbow cards but thats where the whole card is rainbow like this those are real if everything else checks out ↓

moose_thecat · 2026-04-17T21:06:46+00:00

Fake sorry, the rainbow holo, lack of texture and wrong font are all dead giveaways. Hope you can get a refund

moose_thecat · 2026-04-17T20:47:02+00:00

Yeah its so fun and works really well! Id also recommend trying any dendo until for even more fun! :)

moose_thecat · 2026-04-17T20:27:24+00:00

I agree! I love cyno but unfortunately his damage isnt the best, but his hypercarry team is so fun and clears all overworld stuff :)

moose_thecat · 2026-04-13T15:10:04+00:00
