So these 2 booster boxes are my collection since it was first released. I bought this around July of 2023 in HK from a vendor which is around $1200HKD. If i remember correctly the first released had stickers on them on the box before they start removing the stickers completely so i had a few booster boxes ordered directly from Japan with shrink wraps but no stickers which are the batches i decide to open. I am not selling these so i am not trying to scam anyone or getting attention. I posted this online recently from Facebook groups which i assumed are people from the Western Countries that automatically disqualifies my booster box having stickers as not authentic (stickers). if i remember correctly these were bought through online Pokemon Center by the Vendor which of course i cannot put my faith into. And have started to wonder now if the stickers are legitimate and was not placed by the vendor. Hence i would like if anyone from the group here verify my recollection and stickers if authentic. Again, i am not selling this to scam anyone or this is not a post seeking attention.

Andddddd I’m kinda useless here, my friend is the one with more experience. That said I’ve purchased this item directly from pokeninja which is 100% legit due to being directly from the distributor.
We could compare pictures of mine with yours. I don’t have a great picture tho since I’m at work.
But based of a quick glance, if your boxes are fake they’re a really good fake, more so than what is typically seen. I’d lean legit.
I’ll be in the same boat soon, too. Just bought 5 cheapish 151 Japanese boxes from a Hong Kong seller on eBay. I’d feel bad trading them or selling them if I had even the slightest suspicious they could be fake.
Mine was definittelly Authentic since, i got these when it was first released. what i want to know was if the stickers were from the Pokemon Center or the vendor i bought it from placed it there. Since if i remember correctly that the first few weeks it was released i have seen or heard on forums stickers on the boxes.
