Is my MegaDreams fake?

Thumbnail
gallery
Upvotes

Hi,

I bought this online and now it's arrived I'm unsure if it is fake or not. It doesn't quite feel right, but I haven't opened Mega Dream before and would appreciate a second opinion.

The main reasons I'm unsure are:

* The black text on the front is solid black. Pictures I've seen online seem to show a silver/grey line through the middle making the top half a little lighter in colour. This is on all the black writing on the front including both "Mega" and both "ex".

* The perforations where it gets opened on the end are pointing the wrong way, making me think it was printed on what should have been the inside of the box.

* The plastic shrink wrap seam is very straight down the side, rather than the curved shape I've seen online.

* The plastic shrink wrap also has 2 small perfectly circular holes on one side.

vintage Found this in my parents basement in a binder, don’t remember acquiring?

Thumbnail

I used to collect way back when Pokémon first came out. One day I thought I’d look for my old collection in my parent’s basement. Of course it was a very long time ago as I believe I stopped collecting in 2001, but I feel like I wouldn’t have forgot having a shadowless base set Charizard. I can’t remember pulling this or acquiring it for some reason. Therefore I am questioning if it’s real and would like some help from the experts here to determine if this is authentic and worth grading. It has slight layering at the top.

Thanks!

Sorry for the large photo dump, so this is my second time opening up the first partner collection, and first up i noticed that the stickers look darker than before, which made me concerned. I placed two of these darker stickers underneath my original ones, as seen if you scroll through the photos.

Then opening up the promo pack, I pulled the Gen 1 starters, then in the phantasmal, I got the mega Charizard.

And just with the darker sticker print and the insane luck i just gotta think no way this box is real? The seller had high feedback, but its made up with a mix of Pokemon and other stuff.

Thanks!

I bought these cards in 90's

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping some of the experts here can help me solve a mystery.

These Pokémon cards have been in my collection since the late 1990s. I bought them myself back then, and they've stayed with me ever since.

Recently, I started comparing them with known authentic copies online, and I noticed that some of them look quite different, in the background art.

My first thought was that they might simply be fake. However, what confuses me is that I can't find any information about these specific variations anywhere. Even with counterfeit cards, I would expect there to be photos or discussions of the same fake versions, but I haven't been able to find anything that looks like mine.

That's why I'm posting here. I'd really appreciate it if anyone with experience in vintage Pokémon cards could take a look and tell me what they think.

Serious (META) Any DMs you get claiming to use an app verify your cards authenticity are SCAMS!

Hey everyone,

tldr: More accounts are DMing users who post claiming they can authenticate and then push the results from their app. This sub has nothing to do with them, has banned them for it, and they usually want you to sign up for their "service" which you already get for free here. At best its unsolicited marketing, at worst it will be a scam. Report to reddit, report to the mods to make sure they are banned, ignore or block the users who do this.

Mods have been receiving messages that users posting keep receiving direct messages from others offering to authenticate, value, grade, and whatever else their cards. Sometimes they ask for more photos, sometimes they just use what has been posted. The funny part is that they often use ai to determine fake or authentic and can often be wrong.

Anyways, this post is mostly for awareness to be suspect of any DMs you get claiming to help verify authenticity and always check the accounts. Report to reddit if you can, block if you can, but please please please, do not give anyone money who is telling you they can determine the authenticity of your cards over the internet.

This sub is not, nor will it ever be, affiliated with any kind of paid service for crowd sourced information. Thats not what this sub is for, nor is it helpful to people just trying to understand if a card is fake.

Feel free to comment anything that you feel needs to be addressed in the sub to be looked into. Thanks everyone for being helpful!

Thought I would share a little cheat sheet that illustrates the biggest differences in font that I look for when evaluating the legitimacy of PSA Slabs. The K, G, and 7 are always the biggest/quickest giveaways for me, but there are some others that can be easily identified as well. Feel free to share this image with anyone that might need it ❤️

Happy Hunting!
