This is the only one I have ever found. I shared the card’s picture once back on Pokegym, but it surely has been a while. It came with the original FPO cards purchase back in 2013~

Sorry for bumping an old thread but I just got scammed and I want to share to avoid other people from experiencing the same thing. I purchased an FPO card and everything looks real - at least from the front and back.
But I got curious and did the old fashion flashlight trick and guess what I noticed.
Yeah… someone glued the FPO picture onto a real pokemon card. That is why the back looks real. Just watch out… I hate people sometimes.

How much did these run you back in the day?
Whats the quality of the front sticker like IRL?
Definitely different which is why I did the light test. The front of a real Pokémon card feels smooth and both front and back should have the same feeing to them.
The fake still feels like cardboard but it is not as smooth (likely due to the glue used) and the surface has a different touch / feel compared to the back.

Given PSA’s stance on AA and “extra copies” Pikachu illustrator, will PSA decertify existing FPO slabs?
Don’t they already do?
Really? I only remember PSA stop grading FPO cards. Didn’t know existing slabs are decertified too. Thanks for the info!
Someone on the Discord was saying that PSA went out of their way to try get the FPO slabs they grade back from them.
@davie - I’d have to go back through and find my invoices but compared to what they are today… it would be peanuts!
Welcome back Gav. But as you probably should know, don’t bump threads that are over 2 months old, unless you have something constructive/new to add.
