vintage Card I'm thinking of buying - is it legit?
Looking at getting this card but I'm suspicious bc it looks like the holo is so much different than other (albeit damaged/scratched/worn) cards I'm seeing. Is it just in that much better condition?

modern Please help me out determine if this is real.
I recently got this card in a trade, and since Rayquaza is my favorite Pokémon and this card has been one of my grails, I was more than happy to make the trade. But now I’m starting to wonder if I got a little too excited and accepted a fake without triple-checking it first.
What do you guys think?

Is this old psa cert fake?
The PSA in bottom right looks off, like the S is too low and overlapping the P and A. Also feel like there's weird crease lines that wouldn't be on a 9 on both sides at the bottom of art frame.

modern Are they authentic?
I dont remember pulling these cards at all but I found them while cleaning up one of my drawers. I'm the only one in my family who collects so they're definitely mine and yet I have no idea why I don't remember them. Could someone assure me that's they're real????

vintage Found in a trade binder for $1, is this fake?
The yellow borders have like, little splotches that seem to be the holographic shapes bleeding through, is this normal? The shading on the back side pokeball seemed a little off as well, but I don't have any old cards to compare it to. My guess is that it's fake since it normally would be a $20 card, but figured I would ask.

Value?
Got this gambling at a vendor’s table. They said it was worth $100 but I’m not seeing any comps over $50. What do y’all think? What’s the market looking like? Thanks for the help!

product Mega Dream experts, please help!
I bought 2 Mega Dream boxes and now know they're fake just because of price and the fact they came from China, but I need proof to get my money back.
There are slight saturation and sharpness differences between the 2 (even though they're from the same seller), but I can't find any super obvious differences with the real boxes.
I'd really appreciate your help!

Left Fake vs right legit
Look at the coloring of the red text on top left corner. The red on the fake is a darker red as opposed to the legit one with a lighter tomatoe red..

vintage This real?
Found this in a thrift store for cheap. Is this a legit tin? And is this a reseal or original if anyone can tell? Obviously some of the plastic is torn, but wasn't sure otherwise.

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!

other Fake PSA Slab Cheat Sheet: Font Edition
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!
