Eevee Fake 1st Edition Stamps

Wow those are excellent photos! If I had that clarity on the others I could get a better opinion.

Having had a general flick through on ebay on various wotc sets there does appear to be decent variance on position of the stamp although a thorough data set would be needed to know norms from outliers. I didnt check 1st edition base set as i trust scott seeing so many of those during his collecting. Feel free if anyone has the time to do all of wotc lol.

Real or fake? Anyone have a real smudged 1st edition card?

Here is one I found in my bulk years ago. Looks pretty similar.

Those two smudged examples look very much like mine.

Are you able to share a zoomed in image with higher resolution of the stamp?

With this phone its about as good as it gets. Id need a loop like those pics that were posted higher up.

Ok ive played around a bit this is the best i could achieve.

Those photos look clearer. If these are real Rocket had some brutal quality control.

Thanks. I agree and also you can find messy in all sets especially when zooming in…

1st edition base…

We need to get this analyzed under a scope or someone above our pay grade (inside joke from an older post on e4)

Ha that is awesome! I was referring to the post by Gary about various TCGs with data points, and the closing statement was “what does all this mean, well that is above my pay grade”

I was thinking about getting a loop but now it appears i need a microscope lol.

Ive absorbed that link. So basically to verify a 1st edition stamp you must compare with all known verified examples for a match or as close to a match as possible. So basically we need a card like mine videoed pulled from a pack but even that could be faked lol. Easy task i see then.
