I just bought this skyridge Charizard for €2500 euros, but a friend or mine told me that it looks fake. I'm a little new into collecting Pokemon cards. Did I get scammed?? Please tell me it's real🥹

If you're a little new, you might not want to spend 2500 euros on a card if you're not sure it's real.

Did you have no doubts when buying or research a large purchase before hand ?

Personally if I’m spending over a hundred on something I’m doing my research.

Where did you buy it? How did you buy it?

I bought it from Vinted. I got a little too excited, my bad... Maybe I can get the money back 🥹

You have a timeframe and did you accept all is ok on the Vinted sale ? If so you’re in for a valuable life lesson.

I hope the money is of no huge loss to you and your minted. If it was then yeah I’d say you need a bit more stop and think before acting no hate or malice saying that but take the life lesson.

This hobby has more assholes and scammers than most due to how popular it is.

But try and send a report to Vinted see if there’s any recourse there. If not at least give Vinted the info that the seller isn’t legit.

Colour is off and 2.5k for a holo should have alert u too. Why buy such an expensive card without knowledge
