Fake Shining Gyarados? (Strange Holo Bleed)

General
1

I was interested in purchasing a card recently but wanted more pictures for better details. You will see as pictured, this card has a strange holo bleed. I have seen the more common versions of the Neo Rev holo bleeds, but this bleed version is more in relation to the Japanese foiling of the card. I looked around for information on it and couldn’t find the answers. The surface texture also looks off and I can’t tell, but the print looks kinda fuzzy. I am leaning more toward fake. Please help.

Big thanks in advance for your knowledge and expertise.

Never saw one like that before, quality looks decent but pics are crap, ask for better ones

Always hard to tell off pictures but it seems to be really glossy which if true would be a big giveaway that its fake

I agree, the text is blurred and the card looks wicked glossy. I’ve seen a few proxies that had a similar finish where the whole card was holographic. Ask for clearer pictures AND back pictures. I’ve seen only one other bleed but it didn’t look that clear.

Don’t have a good feeling about that card to be legit so having my doubts. Never saw a card with that holo bleed like this too

I’d also ask for video too of them showing the back/front at the same time and then highlighting the holo effect.

Honestly looks pretty good to me. If it wasn’t for the holo bleed I’d prob assume it was real from the pictures. Nothing seems to be off from the pictures but always best to have a feel for the card in your hand as well to determine whether it’s fake

@swin, I have a bunch of Neo Rev with holo bleed. I’ll post some photos of them later for comparison.
