In correct. 3/4 was every entertaining. Esp when you imagine Fazool to be arguing like it’s real life.

They have an entire process in place for counterfeit or altered cards in slabs. It isn’t too difficult.

BGS conspicuously just tells you that you’re out of luck and argue that the card is real.

Rampant with sports cards currently.

They don’t have any financial guarantee.

I’m new to this whole disco fiasco, but I feel (without any proof to back it up) that the majority of people buying those packs are going to be using then to defraud somebody else.

Claiming transparency and whatever else is just being ignorant to the stark reality that you might not be directly screwing somebody but you are definitely indirectly screwing somebody.

But you still got paid and that’s what counts. (If it was a work poop)

He also left a nice little comment whinging about how (to paraphrase) “obviously changing the name was a deliberate ploy to evade detection, hurr hurr, nice job internet detectives” etc and then deleted it. It’s all the same tune.

Sarcasm , then I deleted because I dont feel like entertaining it.

Tbh, I’m not familiar with card printing, so this might be obvious, but it would’ve been nice if they said why it was impossible for there to have been a test run with those attributes.

Otherwise the post feels like they are trying to do PR to make up for the play test fiasco.

I am not impressed that they can find a typo on a pokemon card, and recognize that typo is not present on production cards.

Fake discos, fake pack wrappers, fake chrome sparkle sheets.. what else do you have?

What more did you need explained to you?

the typo is the least of the whole article, and actual cards have typos so it’s barely a point of contention. The printing patterns being completely different than every single other WotC cards, as well as the borders not being a solid layer are just things that never ever have happened and it would not make any sense for them to happen.

At a certain point I can’t prove to you that there isn’t a gnome that comes out from under your bed and takes apart your computer and puts it together in the same way, but we all know that it’s not happening

(It is)

What about the XRF analysis?

lol go cry somewhere else . Fake discos? sure I’ll take the L , I’ve said multiple times I didn’t know the origins and had doubts myself .

fake foils? Hmmmm an loa for a fake foil rolls would seem pretty difficult for the buyer to get right?

Here’s your “fake” sparkle . Or did the Authenticator mess up because your smarter then them?


The profundity of these words will be lost on the commonfolk.

Yes

Ive given you multiple reasons why you should be concerned and you deny deny deny. Not too mention you had a larger sheet that was listed and then all of a sudden it was cut up? Am i to believe you cut up the full sheet that was authentic?

So on the previously listed ( sold? ) cards that also had the eBay authenticity guarantee, and are now stated by CGC as forgeries, where do they fall in this logic flow?

My understanding is they are authenticating the item received matches the photos and is in the described condition. Not that the card is actually authentic - for raw cards

They failed the authenticity test I CLEARLY. Stated that in the first thread

@samsamsamsmsms
Yeh they were cut from that same sheet that I have multiples from.
So please again you can say whatever you like. They’re authentic go check the sold listing . They were cut from the exact sheet. Go cry that your Pokémon world knowledge has crumbled before you.
