Strange Dark Blastoise - Fake?

I’ll get Pokemon HQ on the line. Stand by

Could you imagine if it was real? That would be insane.

The people here really know what they are talking about and have been in the game forever. Id listen to them :person_shrugging:

I appreciate the comments. I’ll send it in for grading and I’ll get back to you all

Are you thinking CGC? They often grade cards other companies won’t touch

I’m thinking PSA

The most bang for your buck with that decision. I think youll be surprised with the results if you send it.

For the record, I am also in the camp that believes its fake but you do you and report back.

Consider TAG. AI grading is the future!

:call_me_hand: Johnny, can you let us know how/when/where you got it? That would be totally radical. :call_me_hand:

send it to PSA so they can decide

Yeah this card is fake. I know It’s a fake for sure cause I own it too. This card was never a non holo in team rocket. The background just doesn’t make sense. It’s actually see through. The booster pack it came out of is bonkers and not real.

What are you going to tell me these are also fake? The booster pack had Indiana Jones on it.

That Dark Dragonite with the red lava lamp background actually slaps

Better pick for you. It is pretty cool looking.

I’d like to get those slabbed as inauthentic

These are the best proxies I’ve seen

They are almost 25 years old. My dad used to travel for work and would come back with random Pokemon stuff from Asia when I was a kid. One time he came back with what looked like a Japanese Neo Discovery pack but it had Indiana Jones on the back. These came out of it. I wish I kept the wrapper!

Yeah for sure lol. I think I’ve seen that pack you’re taking about. That prismatic magikarp is a dead give away. I have a fossil golduck like that magikarp.

I know i have a picture of c that wrapper your talking about. I just have to dig it up. Sent you a chat message
