Man, Italian sellers getting all the hate already…not sure where the stereotype is coming from or if there is actual evidence that so many Italian people in the Pokemon community are scammers, but there are plenty of people from other countries who are scumbags too. Tbh I have encountered more black sheep while buying (or trying to buy) from Japan than while buying from Italy. Special mention goes out to ebay’s Italian mirmex who I have bought multiple higher level cards from and never had any issue with.

My point is, don’t get lulled into a false sense of security when you are buying from someone living in a “stereotypical country of integrity”.

lol I know it sounds like “hate” and potentially racist with two e4 mods already commenting on the country of origin, but speaking as an Italian, they are absolutely right. Sellers IN ITALY (not Italians worldwide) have a bad stigma in the community right now because of the rampant amount of scamming that has been taking place over the past few years. It started with Ebay scams, worked it’s way to forums and facebook, and now they’re all over IG. It’s pretty embarassing for us Italians but it’s true. These dirtbags need to get back to flipping pizzas and making real money than ripping people off like some desperate, impoverished third-worlders. It’s to the point now that Italy is to Pokemon what India is to Unknown Number phone calls.

The amount of disrespect in this thread for a country that was the reason for The Godfather existing is quite frankly shocking.

Oh, you mean that movie where a bunch of Italian people commit organized crime?

Please don’t argue, its entirely disrespectful.

If you disagree, you will wake up with a horse head in your bed.

Hey everyone new here. Just wondering if anyone has dealt with the psa case embossed stamp being very faint to the eye and is visible with correct lighting. Bathroom light led light etc. i CAN feel the etching but in certain lighting it looks to be not there. Its in the 53 million cert also. Fairly newer cases.
