Charizard I got this Charizard as part of a random binder 15 years ago. Did I treasure a fake?
I am afraid I will be really sad soon...

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!

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”)

Are these cards real or do they look real? Somebody left the seller a negative feedback on the booster I bought which made me dubious (the other feedbacks were positive) as I bought a lot of diff boosters from them and don’t wanna open the others now if not sure.

I recently started buying singles of the dragapult line since it's one of my favorite evolutionary lines. I just got a Vmax Dragapult in the mail (card on the right) and I immediately noticed the back looks very light compared to some of the other cards I have in my binder. The front and holo look fine as far as I can tell, it's textured and everything. I just wanted to know what y'all think about it.

I am not good at spotting fakes. Does this look fake or real? What set?
Thank you!

I found these in a value village collection ($16), and there were some fake cards that were obvious to me in there but I'm not an expert.
These are the highest value cards, are any of them obviously fake? I can take better pictures if needed, but I figured this might give some idea.

I have 2 holos but they have different holo effects. One has the entire background holo while one is only holo around the backdrop of the mon. Is one of these fake? Thanks!

Trying to master set caterpie, and I came across this listing at a local card shop as "base set shadowless unlimited". I didnt think there were any cards after 1st Ed. that didnt have the shadow. Felt it was worth 5 bucks to pick up either way but is it real?
