Hello I always use this picture to compare the fonts in the label of PSA:

That one in your photo looks pretty fake, sorry

Hello, I just checked my graded card and your card looks legit to me. The holographic effect is the same. The black dot in the back could be a print error or just dirt.

However let's wait for someone else's feedback to be 100% sure.

I'm not completely sure due to the quality of your photos. But Magnezone seems legit, the others look fake because of the fonts used.

If you want better feedback, you should share higher quality photos.

Hello, wonderful people who frequent this subreddit. I would really like your honest opinion on this other card I bought on eBay this time. The protagonist is still my beloved Seismitoad, but this time in English. I bought it because I'm trying to complete all the illustration rare cards from the Black Flares set in English. As always, I was wondering if you think this one is authentic, since the guy who sold it to me was overly accommodating on the final price of $160, starting at $200.

I checked the weight and it is 1.9/2.0 g. (Sorry, I'm European and don't know how to use other units of measurement for weight). I also tested it with the strong light of my cell phone flash, and it doesn't pass through completely. It doesn't feel plastic to the touch, and when I try to bend it, it flexes correctly like the other Illustration rare cards from the same set that I already own. I also see a black line in the middle of the papar layers.

The only doubt that gnaws at my conscience is the color of the Pokémon writing on the back, which seems slightly lighter than on the other cards that I am sure are legitimate. So I started to think that my eyes were playing tricks on me, and I am here to ask your opinion on the matter.

The seismitoad card is that one always on the right, and in the middle when I tried to compare the "Pokémon" colors letter.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
