Charizard 1st edition doubts

I can possibly buy a charizard first edition, now i have little concerns i wanted to share with you. The first edition logo looks kinda off. Everything else kinda looks okay but i don’t want to burn my hands and money. It’s a 2 hour drive so else i already would have checked it out in person. Anyone can see other off things or can verify its worth the while? Thanks in advance!






I don’t see a picture

this is a very off centered card. probably 35/65.

yeah! it worked, i uploaded it without .jpg first xD
i know its kinda off centered. but my concerns are the stamp and if it could be actual a real one

I don’t like Charizard so I don’t have this card. But that stamp, especially the ‘1’ looks very bright. Might need to wait for some experts on this.

yeaah thanks for your reply anyway! appreciate

Looks pretty fake to me. Colours on the backside and the holo pattern look very off IMO.

shadowless i disagree with u on that one, the fake on ebay clearly has holo stars on the charizard print, and the 100 atk power u can clearly see on legit charizard the 00 are closer to eachother. the fake one are not close to eachter rite?

I’m no expert in US cards, but the “EDITION” font looks almost hand-lettered

@japanime, what u mean with hand-lettered? like someone put it on to it?

Of course is not the literally same thing, I just linked this listing to show how readily available first ed charizard fakes are - the holo on the pictures you posted looks totally off, the stamp doesn´t have this white background, coloring is off etc etc, here is a high res picture of a real first ed charizard, just look at the stamp: www.pwccmarketplace.com/items/2668397

Holo pattern says it all

Agree with other about the holo pattern - doesn’t look right.

This sparkle does not exist on real cards, also it is missing a couple unique stars that have missing centers that are typically in base set holos.

just to add in another person’s opinion. I agree with what most people seem to be saying about the holo pattern. Most of the stars on the real foil are not that pronounced, and several of the star shapes, that I can’t describe easily, simply don’t exist on the real one. That foil pattern would make me turn off the ebay page in half a second if I saw it in a listing.
