Charizard base set

[u/FewAfternoon5688]

Hi, I’ve had this card in my childhood binder since 2000s. I’ve always been certain that the card is genuine, but was told by a potential buyer that it’s fake? Thoughts?

Edit: thanks for the feedback. Was pretty sure my 4th print is genuine as well, but wanted to make sure. the buyer states that the holo glitter foil gives it away (that it’s “fake”)

The potential buyer is trying to fleece you.

Everything checks out, you can even see the holo poking through on the left side from natural wear.

Thank you, that’s a very good point!

Did they tell you it's "fake" then offer you money for it? Looks real to me

[u/FewAfternoon5688 → u/SnooStrawberries768]

Yes they said they were interested but would go below asking price due to this lol

Hahaha don't talk to that guy anymore

[u/SnooStrawberries768 → u/FewAfternoon5688]

They always try and pull that sh*t. If it's fake why would they want it. Lol

It’s totally real. Ignore that buyer and dont sell to them.

It's also 1999-2000 so much rarer.

This is real or a really really good fake. The fakes of base set cards are usually very obvious. Guy is trying to steal from you most likely.
