One of the better explanations I have seen! Thanks for the efforts to put this together.

It amazes me that people have the capacity and infrastructure to print fake cards, but can’t check spelling or even if it’s the right pack description 😂

[KeilyanLord]

I found packs for the equivalent of 0.5$ today, just judging by the price I skipped them but the feel of the packs was also off. Thanks for these tips.

[TomasStavik]

This was great.
My son has been getting a lot of cards for his birthday now, and I noticed that some of the cards were very different in both texture, colours and the general feel of them. I thought they were fake, but that light test helped a lot. The light shone right through!

Thanks for this. The rip test was the only one I was aware of. Real helpful when buying off Facebook marketplace and checking packs in person.

I found a pokemon card pack that has sukuna on the cover.

Also if you want to also see the dark line without ripping the card, you can just look and very focus on the edge of card because it can be visible but it hard tho.

You deserve a million subs bro keep it coming!!!

Thank you! This video helped so much. This is one of the best explanations I have seen on how to tell real cards from fakes.

Awesome video! I'm getting back into collecting lately and found out packs I had laying around from a few years ago were fake.

[PokeMasterSet]

Good video to make bro, more people need to see this!

[TrailBlazer]

Thank you, confirmed I bought fake packs lol So dumb really now that I'm looking at them. Mine were from a flea market and I wasn't really paying close attention since there are numerous vendors who sell the real thing. I never knew the zig-zag cut was fake though otherwise it would have been obvious right away. Live and learn haha💀💀

Hey thanks for making this video on how to identify fake boosters and fake cards because recently I asked my mother to buy me some boosters and she brought me a fake one, so thanks for making this video!

[augustmavis]

Thanks great video! Can I ask- do you think it’s fine buying booster packs from eBay, since eBay has a return policy for items that aren’t authentic?

[ShaneTyas]

glad i found out before buying more than 1 pack, ok for the kids to play around with and have fun opening though clearly not for collecting.

[snoopdogg]

Very informative video bro! Thanks alot!

[AkioUshi]

I’ve been buying packs at the gas station by my work for months just now realizing all my pulls were fake 😭😭 I even thought I pulled a rainbow charizard and Reshiram tag team

[HawwkBigity]

Bought a booster box sealed off eBay, wrapper was on.. I was like cool, so far so good.. I opened only 3 packs as I write this, all 3 packs started with 1 st card hollo on all 3 packs, half the cards were upside down, and all came with 3 stars .. smh now how do I get my money back😤🤬 thanks for this video and everything you've shown is what I got a booster box of..

5:14 for my masochistic people out there!

[angelinacamacho]

i have a fake vikavolt card that says it evolves from chargabug but has a pic of polywhirl

[ajdrew]

Thanks bro. I just did the rip test on my base charizard and it does have the graphite layer. Good to know it is real
