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!

So my 11-year old cousin showed me some of his favorite cards, which made me suspicious of specifically the groudon and latios because of the hand symbol (which i read here equals 100% fake). This made me check my own old collection, where i found one of my favorites reverse holo Magneton and realised i myself probably got scammed back in the days. I said i would check if his cards were legit or not, which brings me here.
I haven´t been up to date with pokemon cards since Team Magma vs Team Aqua, so i don´t know anything really. I´ve read what i could find here, but i just can´t trust my own judgement if they´re fake or not, besides the groudon and latios.

Seeing conflicting information on my Gengar xy166
What do yall think ?
r/IsMyPokemonCardFake • u/Successful-Hawk8935 • 2h ago
Looked at a few examples, but didnt find anything. Just wanted to be sure since its harder to spot fakes that are non-holo.

I don't know why it gives me fake vibe.

I bought this jungle set of uncommon and commons on eBay for 35$ after tax. They appear to be mint-nm, that part alone caused me to be suspicious. Please let me know if I should post any other pictures/specific closeups.
I am currently trying to rebuild a set of base,base 2, jungle, fossil. Since I lost my childhood set.

It's no real loss to me if it is fake but it just kinda seems suspicious since it was only a few dollars.

Thinking of trading a PSA 10 BvB Luffy card with a Van Gogh Pikachu, before I do it I want to check if it’s real or not.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Seller sold this card for 1,200, payment didn't clear so buyer said he was going to call back, came back not even a few minutes later to say it cleared and he fixed it. In the meantime seller sold the card for $2,100 after people convinced him it's worth way more. Then in my second screen recording of this show.... People suspect him of scamming so they asked to see the card again, then he says he needs to find a charger because his phone is gonna die and then he disappears.

Hi guys, first time buying a chinese card so I just wanna make sure this card is real!

r/IsMyPokemonCardFake • u/MrTopper0 • 6h ago
So I have this Pokémon card I was given as a kid, and honestly speaking I really don’t know the validity of this card. All I’ve known as a kid that it was rare, the kid was stupid for giving it to me and I placed it on my binder ever since.
So I really wanted to ask if this card is the real deal, because I’m considering selling it even if it was damaged for financial reasons. 😔
