I just got a Flashfire M Charizard 108 in the mail and it feels like it’s a fake. I’m not familiar with this set at all so tell me what you guys think. The back of the card is glossy compared to the rest of my cards. Maybe I’m crazy haha. Thanks everyone. [imgur.com/a/UZp9K](http://imgur.com/a/UZp9K) ---

> [@KingPokemon](#): > > Where and who did you get it from? Link? eBay username tritsuttris Doesn’t look like this person sells a lot of cards. He said he was selling his son’s collection that he bought from Target and toys r us. I opened up a return case and posted the link to this thread showing that we determined it to be fake. He says he doesn’t take returns so I guess I’ll just wait for eBay to take care of this for me. ---

![](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/1P4AAOSwa~BYcJux/s-l500.jpg) watch out for the insane rainbow effect down the card aswell, if you ebay pokemon go cards they have this weird shine to them.Along with the glossy back, slightly smaller than normal cards(generally)
