So I searched “Charizard” and found something, an incorrectly listed 1st edition shadowless charizard. I made an offer for $1k and got accepted. There were only 2 pictures, both of the front. Seller has 0 feedback and has been a member since 2015. He accepted, so I asked for more pictures, which I received. I asked for a time stamp and got that too. The card in question is in an ultra pro case, and is in the same in all the pictures. My question is, do you guys think it’s legit? ---

Try searching for the pictures on google. Friend of mine had something similar just yesterday. Someone offered a Charizard PSA 9 for way under market, even gave him a time stamp (I didn’t see that photo), but if you searched for the picture in the offer on google you could see that the card was originally being offered by someone else in Singapore. Tl;dr: If it’s too good to be true, it is. ---

I’d risk it for that, worst case is no card or a proxy. ---

I might just be very risk averse with those kind of offers. ---

Well, I asked him for a video, and he sent me that too. I think this might actually be legit, background matches everything else he sent me ---

That sounds really good. He might just not be aware of prices then, but you never know. Just make to sure to use PayPal if you go through with it. I probably still wouldn’t do it lol ---

This is the video in question, the holo does shine so I don’t think it’s fake, proxies usually have a thin border. I think I’m just gonna take th risk, worst case scenario I have to get a refund [www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MNZRM2lXks](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MNZRM2lXks) ---

Well, I’m gonna say he has the card, the question is will I get it? I will update this thread if/when the package arrives, I’m just going to buy it. If it really does show up it’s the deal of a lifetime. Thanks everyone! ---
