Hi folks, revisiting my incomplete burning shadows collection, and slowly working through the last couple pages. I have a question about this Golisopod GX 129/147 that I recently purchased on Ebay.
The card back is darker than the other GXs that I pulled myself, which makes me suspicious, but the thing that really sets me off is that “Golisopod” text is visible on the back, in the top right corner. The texture, spacing, font, thickness, weight, everything else is spot on. Any advice?
I am certain that is a real card but unsure how the name is visible on the back unless there was a printing error or the stacking of cards in the factory had transferable ink on the card/sheet underneath.
How does it compare when shining a light through it or checking if there is the black layer on the edge?
Looks like its prob just ink transfer, rosettes checkout on the card back. Prob a sweet error thatll catch a small premium
Thats the result of ink not being dry when the cards gets put on a stack after printing. Its rare but not unheard of, this should be real
Thanks very much for your reply! There is a black layer, and with light bending comparison it feels like other cards of the same type that I’ve pulled.
Light isnt visible through it, even bright light (i’ve held it up to very bright sun).
I guess it’s real?
Thanks for the reply man! I shall store it in the binder. Shame I can’t display the back. Maybe I need another!
Awesome! I’d not heard of it, thanks for telling me about it.
Put it in backwards, the name is still on top
Legit question: can you actually get fakes with the correct, properly-defined texture patterns? I’ve only ever seen ones that have the same art/appearance but when you physically get them in-hand, they are just flat holo like a regular ultra rare or art rare.
