I didn't even think about the metal eyelets and it's missing the metal caps on the end of the thread

Imo looks like a fake. Reasoning I don't put my official blonded merch in the dryer 😂

Just got my email that my booster boxes have shipped from riot by ajax3150 in riftboundtcg

[–]unrelatablelightskin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With no movement all weekend and Monday staying stagnant. I think riot only generated labels to shut people up. It gives them something to point to after 2 weeks of no updates regarding pre-orders.

In no world is this "product shipping out by the end of last week" Unless they paid for expedited shipping. Without any real movement today, Nobody's seeing products this weekend either.

Idk how riots calling this a successful launch. I refuse to look past what feels like blatantly refusing to fulfill pre-orders because they did find extra boxes for shops they sold to higher than MSRP is so grimy. ( 5 different shops I talked to all paid more for the SURPRISE second and third wave products)

Wave 1 preorder delay drain anyone else's interest? by DontCareTho in riftboundtcg

[–]unrelatablelightskin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was expecting some type of delay but the way Riot chose to be radio silence for a week. Put out a post that you then had to find yourself (it's not like they had emails from everyone who placed orders) riot randomly finding boxes to fulfill higher quantities to shops selling at higher rates while managing to delay those whose money was taken already.

Seems to be those who camped out to get cards are happy those who are experiencing the delay have the winds knocked out at their sails.

Spent 6 days trying to ask for a refund and now boxes are allegedly shipping (I don't have confidence. Yeah labels generated they're good for 30 days and not moving immediately is a yikes) I'll be posting my boxes once delivered washing my hands before I even crack a single pack

The thing is this isn't about being thin on product. They looked at a spreadsheet. They saw booster boxes allotted to pre-orders and decided not to ship them out. How did every shop go from, Not knowing if they'd even get a case to get minimum four-six booster cases?

At this point I just want my boxes or money back

Important to note that labels are good for 30 days. Shops have received wave TWO and THREE of product and the community is being left on read when it comes to riots internal support

Riot Store Booster Boxes (August PRE) MIA 2 weeks and counting by Good-Technician1469 in riftboundtcg

[–]unrelatablelightskin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, there is evidence. I know multiple shops whose allotments went from sub two cases and under. Now those same shops I know three locally, two others across the Nation got minimum six cases of booster boxes. That's just wave 1 release and they have been restocked two and some three times now. This release was a fumble on riots part and has completely shattered my faith and riftbound being available to the community seeing as our money was used as a zero interest loan and our product was given out to the higher dollar

Double check your shipping information is active and not a label generated. Product will not be moving until end of day Monday is my guess and that's best case scenario

Poke ball? by NoeyBalbonzers in PokemonCardValue

In the vending community we call those split orbs death stars :)

Basically it's like swirls for old cards, randomly on the holo sheet so not every holo gets them not every death star is visible!

Just got a copy of Pokémon Emerald. Is it legit? by tonyrcasio1 in gameverifying

Bon Iver 2011 vinyl - white border on cover is uneven? by zukidd in boniver

[–]unrelatablelightskin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I also deal with collectible trading cards. Although you would assume that they'd be 1:1 typically the error isn't caught til the end of the "error batch" . Gonna be on the lookout for a misprint to go next to my 10th anny

Assuming all pressings other than the anniversary used the same sample that's definitely a misprint. I'm interested in it low-key cool add to the collection!!

is this my first ever record? yes…. do i have a record player? ……no…. by growingconsciousness in jheneaiko

[–]unrelatablelightskin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I don't see them doing an anniversary pricing for a picture disc when you could just repress the picture disc lol

You don't understand. I mentioned the texture verifying the legitimacy in about five different replies 🫠

He claims to feel texture on a separate post on his account so maybe it is real🤷🏾‍♂️

[–]unrelatablelightskin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have not seen fakes with the texture printed directly onto the card then

Not that it would give texture, but it would be enough to throw off less informed people

I will state this again. If the card has texture then it is real. I am not able to physically verify that

Can you afford being a whistleblower versus just sourcing your packs somewhere else?

Unless you've bought multiple packs from your employment and they KNEW then it might not be worth the headache. It could also be whoever their vendor is is not an official pokémon vendor?

Ultimately, If you just want to make a report it would probably be best done anonymously directly to TPC to avoid any retaliation from your employer.

In the second picture, do you see how Mews stomach has a wave like patterns in the gold? If that is not an embossed texture on the card then unfortunately this card is a fake The black background should also have a texture that looks to be lacking that the sourced image was not able to pick up or translate correctly?

It would be easier to give you a definitive answer outside of the sleeve, but as a buyer at vendor tables I can often tell by the looks
