@pingy I sold one that should be publicly searchable for $17,500. Offers have been double since then. The listing shared is a fake card. Here is a real copy for comparisson:
Thanks for the replies, Is there fakes circulating around right now and how to tell if one is legitimate? I maybe potentially line up a huge in person deal and want to make sure I don’t get scammed
If you’re prepared to drop 4-5 figures on these cards, I would advise buying through a legitimate auction site like Fanatics or one of the big consignment services on ebay. Buying graded is safer, although there are fake PSA slabs out there too.
If you can, ask the seller you were thinking of doing an in-person deal with for photos and share them on e4. People here should be able to give you an accurate second opinion.
General advice, buy only graded. If you are buying raw and aren’t able to tell if its real, or the source isn’t a known expert, thats a 5 figure risk. I personally don’t do in person deals, its honestly more of a hassle.
Ah, bummer. Sucks to hear fakes are making the rounds for these now, but they’re legitimately rare (200 copies ever printed, or “100 officially”) and have amazing artwork and history behind them. Best of luck!
The day that cards can be replicated without detection by grading companies is the day collecting cards is over. Whats real, whats not? Nobody would know
