Purchsed these two charizards from the same seller and after receiving them, they turned out to be 100% fake. The stamp wiped off completely with just the slightest touch and looked still wet when it was in the ultra pro case. The cards looked fine in the listing but unfortunately are just shadowless zards with a very detailed 1st edition stamp.
After contacting the seller, he claims to have not been aware they were fake and had Purchsed them from someone else. The cards were inside an ultra pro case and the screw was hot glued in place so that story might be true since the cases were super hard to open, but I don’t know. I’m in the process of getting my money back with a PayPal case. Hopefully no one else comes in contact with fake 1st Ed stamps…
Been waiting for this to escalate. Guess it is now.
Several have come in to PSA recently and been rejected.
To be safe, buy graded with serial numbers pre 25,000,000. They are getting better and flawless ones could slip through soon hence ore 25 mil.
I’ve always advised to steer clear of any cards where BIG value is in an added stamp. A good example is the recently posted Raichu with the aftermarket stamp. That is a VERY simple foil stamp to reproduce again.
This, assuming the seller is speaking the truth it would be really important to find person who is doing such bs. Keep us updated @pottsinator how things turn out.
the thing is, when/if you do get your money back, you will probably need to send them back, then the seller will probably stick them back on ebay saying “error” 1st edition charizards.
bruh i can tell, but zooming is usually required. did he use small ass photobz I came across these on ebay and it was quite a few, and i got ultra paranoid and zoomed in back in my early collecting days and around 2014 to, i have em saved somewhere. But you can tell the N looks super wierd and the E. so messed up.
never fear, the japanese have this honor thing. Its extremely rare for a japanese seller to go against this honor. That word beautiful goods has given me nothing but gems hehehehehhe. Accept once. xD … However that could change with my mails that are coming in.
If the stamp was still wet does that mean it was done with the wrong ink or was it freshly done? With the price of shadowless zards rising like they are this is just straight retarded being as the stamps rub off once touched so nobody is gonna be fooled and the guy who sold them is 2 shadowless zards worth of cash down haha.
