I’d greatly appreciate it! Thanks!
Update!
I managed to get in touch with the seller, and we exchanged the cards and money back.
Understandably, the seller was quite sad about this outcome — especially after realizing that a large part of his collection is likely fake — but it turned into a good learning moment. I walked him through the points you all raised here.
On a side note: this is my first time posting on a forum like this, and I’m genuinely impressed by the speed and specificity of the feedback. I really appreciate the support — thank you again!
It’s great that you were made whole again and that there seemed to be no maliciousness on the seller’s part. Bummer about his collection though.
Great news!!
many such cases. But these are really convincing fakes. I’ve reached out to sellers with a mix of fake and real cards and they always just didn’t know! This probably would have fooled me too.
