I have no interest in that but thank you for the suggestion.

Basically. Itās not a prototype or anything like that.
Itās not some holy grail only foretold of in the darkhold.
Itās just a printing sample from a machine that makes cards.

Thatās still pretty cool even though it is not special.
Iām happy Iām not a Kato fan (saves me money) but love the art on the Booster Boxes so Iāll get 1 of each for the fully connected box art.
Iād like a MB Espeon (Taira Akitsu) if possible and am fine with paying for shipping
If your clients are giving you āprint samplesā of actual cards without the embossed watermark that is very much against Pokemon Chinaās rules and they could get in trouble.
So they are either counterfeit or your client is breaking their agreements with Pokemon (both arenāt great)

This is the picture he just sent me. These are not my cards, these are the pictures of the printing samples he has sent to me.
This is comparing Ali baba cars and the other samples. I donāt make these, I donāt own these .

Sure send me a message and Iāll mail one to you. Itās going out in a stamped envelope.
Hi everyone, sorry if this is off-topic but do the exclusive ARs from the set also have the PokĆ©mon stamp embossed in the bottom-left corner of the card? Iām interested in purchasing the 171/151 AR for our Jigglypuff species collection and wanted to check.

Thank you for the confirmation! Itās going to be very tough to see on an online listing, guess I will try to buy a PSA9 for some authenticity guarantee

You can choose the authenticity guarantee, or find a reputable seller on eBay and ask them for more pictures. I used this method to buy my 151 raw Chinese cards.

Itās not ācouldā for this case now - they āareā in trouble lol
Shanghai just released an announcement of them confirming the source of the leak (one of their business partners) and are now ādealing with the issueā.

Ok cool. They should be nearly identical but you will see quickly why they are not.

Thanks for sending me some samples!
As far as i can tell they look pretty real to me, I donāt have any modern Chinese to compare it to on hand at the moment though so I will be picking some up in the future to see what their differences are!
The card stock definitely feels thin and flimsy but everything else seems fine.
If any one has some they can compare it too i could potentially measure the thickness, the weight of the Espeons is around 1.57grams
Edit: Adding link to a comparison that has already been done Fakes are getting too good - #23 by HumanForScale
