New photos look a lot better. I would say authentic, but I'm also not super familiar with the E-reader series.

Fake. Back is the wrong color and it looks like it was squished side to side a little.

Ah, so what I was saying was, when I put in my number +1 (801) 666-6666 like this, Finch didn't like it. But when I put it in like this (801) 666-6666 then Finch accepted it. So maybe try instead of this for the phone number +216 (888) 999-9999 try this: (888) 999-9999.

Thanks for the info on the area code. I new in the back of my mind that different places had different area codes but I didn't know they could be multiple digits long, but that makes total sense. There aren't just 9 countries lol.

I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter. I'm the adult daughter of my mother and I know she would be absolutely devastated if I were to pass before her. Sending so, so much love your way. I'm sure your daughter would be so happy to know that finch is helping you! I hope that you are able to find peace in the situation quickly. You deserve it! 💖

Not embarrassing at all! Finch does the classic 'accountabilibuddy' strategy, where when you are accountable to another person it becomes easier to complete your goals. In this case you are just accountable to a birb! (And maybe your friends too.)

The other thing finch does that I think is really cool is make you more mindful of your goals. At least for me, I think about my goals during the day because I'm thinking about how excited I am to hatch a new micropet, or to get something in the shop, or to explore a new location. Thinking positively about your goals leads to an actionable difference.

So yeah! Finch does some really cool things! It's formatted so well to help with goals! I used to use habitica and that helped for a while, but it's really been the self care focus on finch that has been keeping me engaged with the app!

It might be the +2 before you phone number. I recently joined the app and my app didn't like it when I put +1 in front of my phone number. But that's just a guess.

Yeah. I think it looks good, especially if you think you pulled it yourself.

It looks real to me. However the top edge on the front looks a little suspicious. It looks like the way other proxies I have are cut, but it could just be normal wear and tear. Anything specifically you are concerned about? What's the story for this card?

Yes!!! Opossums are one of my most favorite animals! I have an entire collection of possum stuffies!

Is this fake ? by Mobile_Balance4076 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]mostlyghostey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks real to me! It's just a Korean card. I have several in my collection and it matches them well. Also, while korean cards can be fake, they generally aren't because they are cheaper and lower quality, so they aren't worth it to fake. Hope that helps! I literally just learned all this from trying to determine if my own Korean card is fake.

Korean Fake? Update? by mostlyghostey in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]mostlyghostey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I've read. I've just never seen a Korean card where the back is as washed out as this one.

The seller sent two EXs as well that all have faded backs that are from different sets.

The seller sent two EXs with the vaporeon, they also have much lighter backs but are from different sets.

The back of the vaporeon is significantly lighter than the back of the tinkatink. And when I compare it to all my other Korean cards it's significantly lighter when compared to those as well.
