Are These Cards Real or Fake?

RE: Fake Cards - Can you confirm

Yes they are fake. An easy giveaway is that they all have holo in the background, but they don't actually 'shine'. Another way to tell is the energy symbols. The black symbols are too large. Next, the font used on the cards is very wrong. Feel free to look up scans of these cards on PokeBeach for comparison! ;)

I believe I had similar fakes, back when these sets came out a lot of people in my school had fakes of these. I still have a Pikachu that is fake haha.

Anything with that font is fake.

I have bought resealed packs of ex Unseen Forces. Weird enough the Unown holos and commons were legit but the rare non holo was fake. The font and blurriness kept bothering and I accidentally ripped it. Cards don't rip that easily and once they do rip, there is a blackness on the paper ish edges. If it doesn't have that, it's fake. See primetimepokemon's video about fake cards for more details.

Fake or Real Pokemon TC

Hi guys I recently bought some pokemon cards on ebay and wanted to know if they are fake or not; some seem fishy. If you guys say fake please say why. The borders seem uneven among other things.

Looks real to me, but the attack names seem like they aren't positioned exactly correct, though it might just be me.

This was a random lot too (10 cards). I only got 1 card from the older set rhydon, which i know is real. Everything after neo revelations I have a hard time determining whether it is fake or real.

Misprinted HG/SS Exeggutor Card

So, my nephew brought over some Pokemon cards today to trade and stuff, and he mentioned a mis-print card he'd found. Upon further inspection the card, a Reverse Holo Exeggutor from the HG/SS set, had the mistake of having a Koffing as it's Basic Pokemon... I shall attach some pictures, if they aren't clear I'll attempt to get one with better lighting, though the fact it's a Reverse Holo makes it somewhat difficult to get a good angle...

So, yeah, I was just wondering about it, I can't find it anywhere else, as no-one else seems to have found one like this.

That card is fake.

The real card looks like this:

18-exeggutor.jpg


Inconsistencies:

~The card font isn't the same as on a real card, in any case (look at the Stage 1 bit and the name, especially)
~The spacing is a little off on things
~The Energy symbols are too big
~They even misspelt Exeggcute as Wxeggcute

If you find that many inconsistencies on just a single card, odds are it's fake.

[split] Card Errors Database - Provide a Picture When Reporting Errors - No Misprints

I think I have a misprinted pokemon catcher, it looks normal except under the text it looks like a barry is printed. Most likely just a printing error butI compared it to another copy from the same set and its definitely a distinct print error on the card. Ill post pics when I get home but has anyone seen or heard of people getting these errors? Also is it worth any more then a regular catcher?

If the printer error is too distinct, it won't be playable, at which point the value is up to error collectors. If the card is still playable, then yes, it will be worth more than normal Catchers.

I'd need to see pictures before I gave a price though.

Some may pay more for that card. I do not find ink spot cards desirable, because they could be manufactured for profit.
