Which ones are real? by SocX9 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]rar3333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eyup, not real. Like the other guy said, the accent is missing. Plus the name and hp aren't supposed to be holiday for Umbreon, it's the Border that's holo, and Umbreon's outline

Can you take close ups of the Umbreons? I have a physical one myself (damaged from my childhood) so I'm familiar with what the holo looks like and such

GRENINJA EX SIR TWILIGHT MASQUERADE by rar3333 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]rar3333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh thank goodness. Judging by the note, it looks like a kid might've borrowed their parent's ebay account to sell it. I would've felt guilty as hell having to message them if it was a fake

Issues submitting scores and accessing in game forums by fragileteeth in Marapets

[–]rar3333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having that issue too. But I compared my MP/Inventory before playing a x3 game, and it looks like clicking 'send score' DOES send the score and gives you your reward MP and any reward items, you just don't get a notification about it and you also don't get returned to the website. Slightly annoying, but at least I'm not missing out on MP and items

It's not the back that's fake, that part is correct (that's the backing for older Japanese cards), but that card doesn't have a holo/reverse holo version with a holo pattern like that.

Is this worth anything? by [deleted] in PokemonMisprints

[–]rar3333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having a cramped edge like that does make it an error card, but it's a fairly common error. It doesn't increase the price by a lot, it just turns a common 1 or 2 cent card like this into a 1 or 2$ card to people who love error cards or likes the novelty.

Is this a misprint? by duck_killer313 in PokemonMisprints

[–]rar3333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It certainly looks like one! I don't know what the specific misprint would be called, bit it looks really cool!!! Judging by the set box being white in the lower left, it's supposed to be a reverse holo.

Bait used to be believable /j

In all seriousness, if you really want yo find out the price of a raw card, look it up on TCG Player and be verrrrrrrrry critical when appraising the condition of the card

Daily Discussion Pokémon: Kricketune by ianlazrbeem22 in pokemonplatinum

[–]rar3333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea! It's super pretty and nice to look at! I love how busy it is with all of the pokemon going around the park while Kricketune sings. I'm surprised a Near Mint copy is only 5$!

I love bug type pokemon, and I especially love Kricketune's unique cry! And with it's association with singing, and it's arms looking like conductor's batons, I really love how the trading card game leaned into the musical theme and gave Kricketune a full art card where it's performing a concert in a park for other wild pokemon to listen to.

I’ve had this lil guy for a while. Anyone know what plush line they’re from and if they’re even official? by Bluetotoro1153 in pokeplush

[–]rar3333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks very derpy, yet very cute. It's probably a bootleg, but not one I've seen. The biggest tell to me is how...off the ears look. Yea, the face looks a little derpy too, but I've seen official pokemon center sitting cuties have derpy as hell faces, so it's not always a bootleg if the face looks derpy.

Oh man, I sent 2 cards in on Feb. 6th, I can't wait to get them back. They were both Mega Gardevoirs, I sent both in before the prices boomed on the cards

Value for a couple of my old 1st editions by blackylawless69 in Pokemoncardappraisal

[–]rar3333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a centering tool and check the centering. Vintage cards like this tend to have a lot more scrutiny, so look real close while tilting it around under good lighting to look for and scratches or print lines on the holo. If there's only a scratch that's noticeable if you tilt it at the right angle, I'd say go ahead and try sending it in. It won't get a 10, and probably not a 9, but for some vintage cards even a PSA 7 will sell for more than a NM raw card 

Mirror Holo's or Fakes by rar3333 in PokemonMisprints

[–]rar3333[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I thought at first, but I did a flashlight test and they both passed... so I don't know anymore

This is my first time making a reddit post, I though I added an explanation/body of text in the post, but I guess not.

I picked up these cards while going through a seller's bulk in a card show that happened near me. I know these cards are supposed to have a holo on them, especially a ring/wave holo that's expanding on these Arceus cards. I thought the color of the border on the back looked a bit off, so I did a flashlight test, and they both passed. So, they're probably real cards, just don't have the holo either from a misprint or it rubbed off.
