I came across this asshat months ago. I always report his shit to youtube for copyright infringement but they dont do shit.
When I listed one of their uncut sheets they sure cared. They threatened me with lawsuits.
I thought I saw this guy on youtube showcasing some legit looking fakes. I agree, trying to replicate cards bugs me more than making silly custom fakes. When trying to sell the real deal people will question its authenticity. Stop them! haha.
The whole thing has to be a scam. Here is why:
-
If you look close at the outer card (excluding holo) the quality is actually not that great, it looks like any other chinese printed card if not worse.
-
On his website he obviously stole photos of real cards from some of the users on this forum
-
in his youtube video, I think he actually might show a real card once or twice and pretend as if it is fake
-
** Take a close look at his trophy cards. Again, the outer part of the card isn’t great quality. Then all he did was cut the holo portion off of another card and glued it on his fake card, and then he pasted over the holo portion with a cut out version of the pikachu trophy character. Edges of the pikachu are very sharp and he never does a super super close up. Maybe i’m wrong about that but really, when you look at it, the quality isn’t as good as you might think or as he advertises with his stolen photos.
-
he doesn’t use paypal and told someone on youtube that you could F&F him because he recently got scared using normal paypal methods. Classic scam.
-
his site is supposedly run out of Ireland but a scam detecting website says that it is most likely run from the UK. So he seems to be hiding something and making a layer of protection.

Has anyone caught any of these up for sale on eBay? that is when we start having more trouble.
They have taken on a few people who were printing fake t shirts and merchandise in Australia.
Pokemon company won a case against a t shirt company, and was entitled to something like 300k from the small business, but they turned around and gave them an invoice of $1. After they won the case. I can’t remember the report exactly but something like that happened. If anyone has the report it would be helpful. Showing pokemon company not to be assholes, and maybe like they don’t care really, as there is alot of people faking their products throughout china and around the world.
but yes… it sucks…there is a fair demand for it after it blew up more from youtubers and stuff, they don’t really look that good either… its all just sad.
