Is this PSA 10 mew festa fake?

General Question
1

Hey guys, long time lurker here. I took a long break from collecting and now I want to slowly finish my mew collection, i saw that the fake slabs are getting better and better. Is it at this point only worth it to buy via ebay authenticity guarantee or ebay PSA?

I am looking at this mew here and the scans of the slab do not really align in my eye. I am talking about the 3 usual psa tags above the card. Its also hard to tell if any of the holo pattern align at all.

Whats also worrying hes selling some poncho promos aswell and the scans have been all deactivated due to fakes?

3rd redflag is that his current feedback only consists of selling 8$ singles or random low value junk and now all of the sudden hes selling slabs worth tens of thousands

Can you guys enlighten me how prevalent fake slabs are now on ebay and if I should avoid this particular one?

That copy is extremely fake! Font on the label is complete wrong.

Yep, all three of those are fakers, they won’t pass authentication for whoever wins those bids.

Is this how you get an interest free loan on eBay?

As real as polititians

What do you mean they wont pass authentification? Maybe the buyers are ignorant?

Or you mean because they are sold via ebay international shipping and ebay fakechecks these prior? Or is that only included when “ebay authenticity guarantee” is listed

Wow. Thanks for clarifying guys. We should collectively report him

Ebay has implemented an authentication guarantee for certain markets:

https://www.ebay.com/authenticity-guarantee/tradingcards

Listings will have a few mentions when covered:

Buyers must be in the US, and sellers must be located in the US or Canada to qualify, but once an auction ends, the card is sent to eBay’s authenticator before being shipped along to the buyer. Assuming these go to the authenticator, they will fail, and the buyer will be refunded.

The listings above do not have this listed though so they wont be authenticated, or maybe its because i am located in europe. Either way seems like us europeans are rekt in this regard

My take away from this is to stick to ebay psa listings, probstein and z&g i guess to be on the safe side.

Yeah, it won’t show up if you’re in Europe.

If you have a vault address with PSA or Fanatics, you should be able to gain access to it.

Always good to do your due dilligence all the same, better to ask before buying than after!

Hi im also a lurker. :sweat_smile: I compared the Mew card with the real one on the PSA site and I don’t see any differences. Which is scary to me. Could you please explain or maybe show on the card what makes it certain to be a fake card? Thank you for your time.
