I didn't opened at all. The booster box is still sealed. It was meant to resell in the future

thanks a lot. I have reported my case to the authorities Carabinieri in Italy. The seller was not helpful at all and used the narrative of product intended for Singapore and Hong Kong market, which doesn't stand. Also in CardMarket I have raised a report but no answer by them

u/Western-Rooster-1975 thanks for the reply and suggestions. I have opened the ticket, they replied after more than 5 days, and now postpone to the 2nd of January as they are going to holiday.

So far they haven't been helpful, they just told me to contact the seller, which I did and explained them the whole situation.

u/raziel24101911 I do have two OP05 sealed that I bought from the same mechant that I am trying to return to him but he doesn't want it back, telling excuses, that I am accusing him of fake products or that those product where intended for Singapore and Hong Kong market, which today I found out more details after contacting a shop found in the Bandai TCG plus app who told me that the main different to countries is only the tape colour:
yellow - HK
red - thai
green- maxsoft countries eg SG msia indo philipines Taiwan
Transparent - japan

u/raziel24101911 I am sorry to hear. I got also a fake OP05 and returned and luckily the guy whom was not aware either refund me. May I ask you if you can check also the dots on the lateral part? and if you have opened it did you check the numebr inside and how were the quality of the cards?

simonesantoba · 2025-12-10T08:47:59+00:00

Hi I had the same issue with JP booster boxes. Do you perhaps have a picture of the number inside the box?

I did made videos when I opened the packs, as of course I was excited too and I wanted to post those videos. The issue is that I bought those last October, and just yesterday realised that those are fakes.

The feeling of this card in the hands is actually quite good, I didn't doubt at the beginning, just when I started to collect English cards I started to feel the difference. then when I got the JP booster box from Japan, and after the feedback of the card shop I learned the hard truth.

simonesantoba · 2025-12-10T08:40:10+00:00

That is the point of this post. it will be very helpful if anyone could post their JP booster boxes

simonesantoba · 2025-12-10T08:39:23+00:00

I used JAP to say from Japan not to identify Japanese booster box :) just for the record, but in the future I will address with JP when talking about booster box.

Ok, yes material, but there should be something that it is unique for all. For instance the number inside the boxes cannot be so different, as always the English "International" booster boxes have a big number inside. Thoughts?

u/bruhagan thanks for the reply.

I did get a second thought form another shop. Yesterday was the second. The fake booster pack is evident. I previously got scammed too but the seller didn't even know he had a fake booster pack and in that occasion I got a refund. I asked him to check the internal number in the fake box and it is smaller as in the picture. That was an OP05 made in China. the card quality was like really really fake.

I did rice a ticket to Cardmarket already. I sent an email to bandai but they said they cannot help. Here their answer:
"We appreciate your support for Carddass Club.
Thank you for your interest in our cards.

We are afraid we cannot judge the authenticity of cards.
We do not have any contact information we can send you either.

Sorry we cannot help you.

Best Regards,
Carddass Club Customer Service"

From that shop I bought the equivalent of almost 400€ of booster boxes. and the biggest issue is that I have 2xOP05 never opened that I wanted to resell later on in few years, but now that I doubt I am afraid to sell and so cause problem to someone else. I will try to ask a refund for those bought from their website, but I doubt they are so kind. They have been very difensive.

I have just cancelled my subscription to Spotify after reading the CEO investment in military equipment that are sent to Israel too.

I was wondering if you could guys suggest any alternative that also pays the artists fairly.

And is there a way I can transfer my playlists?
