Check these out. Anyone want to look at the details to see if they might be authentic?

Yes you are right. It’s indeed traditional Chinese.

Whoops. Sorry about that. Fixed. It kept striking me as wrong but i was rushing in case they take it down so people could get a look.

Oh, don’t apologize! I’m just interested in the story as well! I hope we get a solid answer out of this! Base and the jungle print of Pikachu were the only Chinese cards printed by WOTC at all, IIRC.
Thank you for sharing!

Looks interesting. If the story is true it would be super cool. I hope that this can be authenticated.
Thank you for sharing this!

I can say, from experience and the fact that during the last 3 weeks I’ve sleeved up 2500+ Dragon Ball Z CCG cards that that is indeed the correct backing and gloss of a 2000-2004 Score Entertainment card.
I have no idea though if DBZ CCG cards were printed in the USA or at Carte Mundi back in 2000. My memory isn’t that good (any more). Some boxes I have left state “Printed in the USA” but that could be just the box, not the cards and/or boosters.

Intrigued if real, skeptical otherwise.

According to copyrights on the back of decks, traditional chinese cards were indeed made in the US

On the surface I don’t really believe its legit. Holo doesn’t look right. You won’t be able to get a feel for this because this person’s photos have some kind of weird filter pass on them that smears everything. While they seem to have been willing to actually give a half decent full frontal shot, this is what it looks like at full resolution. So, you know, we aren’t getting the print rosette.
Until they provide scans and a photo that shows the starry pattern, there isn’t anywhere left to go here I’m afraid.

If printed on DBZ CCG card stock with foil layer… that foil could be correct. DBZ CCG foils of the 2000 set Saiyan Saga are notoriously dark and have no pattern or gimmick to them.
[edit] These are two foils. DBZ CCG Saiyan Saga foils are full card foil layers. The 2000s Burger King promos (available in standard, silver and gold) are even darker.

honestly the video was useless. @pikachutcg being the GOAT saved the photos. I know better than this, I normally run important stuff like this through archive.ph I did it for a goldin(I think) auction for the nidoran(german?) with the MTG back.

I think Trad. Chinese Base set used the Cosmos holofoil pattern, no? I think it was a bit more muted than what it would have been on Base set 2 as well.
Edit; some examples hosted here:

Video at least showed it was a single card. And clearly that the hole was punched through it.
