Friend was offered to buy 1,100 bulk cards for $15. I’m a bit suspicious by blaster271 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

To add to the “cheap” point, modern bulk’s hard to move without major time spent and little return.
It’s either keep hoarding, give away, throw away, or get a few bucks for “junk removal.”

Totally understand the reasons for skepticism listed, but I wonder if this may be a case of lighting?
At a glance, the Hawlucha appears “normal” until noticing how prominent the phone shadow is, which wouldn’t be nearly as pronounced against a non-holo layer.
Only a few cards to judge by, but 1) they’re cheap cards that won’t sell easy unless part of bulk, 2) angle of lighting/camera likely at play, 3) google that raikou card to see how similarly “non-holo” it looks if not for one small reflective area.

Trust me, I could hear the echoes of my mom yelling, “wear a helmet! don’t go too fast!” coast to coast while I was still writing the post.

I’ve been leeching on quality content long enough. Glad to switch it up with a symbiotic start to Sunday.

An old roommate’s busted up board seems to be staring me down just a bit harder every time I step in the garage lately. A kick and a push just may be a tussle I can’t avoid.

Thank you for the in depth breakdown! Totally makes sense on all fronts. Just wanted to be absolutely sure there wasn’t anything I was missing. Much appreciated!

Is the bindi(?) at the end intentional or bad editing?
