The first stamp shown is a stamp that I know is real. It’s for comparison.
SPOILER: Click to show
The second stamp belongs to a Base Set Nidoran(M). Is it a legit faded/gray stamp or is it fake? It doesn’t rub or peel off, but the stamp looks odd. I don’t have any other 1st Edition Base Set cards to compare it to.
The second stamp is strange… It looks like it smeared before it was dry. It also doesn’t peel or rub off when scratched at. The stamp looks really real (crisp and the ‘EDITION’ text looks correct), I’ve just never seen a smeared stamp before.
Any ideas?
