Not to get too off topic, but I also saw someone with a legit PSA 9 snap pikachu, not one of the common promo ones either. his IG is pokemon_trooper, amazing

Ok, that’s seriously impressive sight.

So for the record, the pull rates on the Pika/Slowbro blisters aren’t any better or worse than the booster boxes from what we’ve seen? Total randomness still? Have some blisters incoming and can’t decide what to do with them!
Where’s the best/cheapest place to buy cp6 SR singles? Can I buy them from that buyee.jp site? They seem to be the cheapest, but idk if that’s a local only site or something.
You’d need a middleperson for that. I’d check elsewhere if you haven’t used it.
Debating if I should open my last 3 boxes later, or keep em sealed. I’ve had enough nostalgia for now, but I just opened 4 boxes and only 1 of them had full arts (Venusaur and M Venusaur), so I feel like the other 3 are probably going to have full arts 
Ow snap! Damn I’d love to ever get that card in my collection…
How many of these even exist, btw?

After giving this card a closer look, the case is completely inaccurate. Here is a comparison of a real PSA case vs the “snap card” case:

The cert number checks out as a PSA 5 graded japanese trainer magazine card. Definitely a fake.

Hmm, are you sure? When I put in the number on psacard.com I do indeed get the SNAP Pikachu.

Yeah that’s a “GMA” grading case. They sell them to people who want to grade their own cards.
Edit: also worth a note, the case is terrible quality. Never buy a GMA graded card because the edges of the card are damaged by the case.

Someone took a legitimate PSA label and put it in a GMA case.
The guy claims he paid 9k, but then considered offers of 3.5k. They also have a fake preraichu and fake illustrator.
Jackass also has a prerelease Raichu on his pics with a GOLD stamp.
Ok I can tell the case isn’t normal but what else says fake about this card? Would be good to learn some more tells than I already know. I can definitely distinguish a fake card that’s not encased but with this being encased and having a cert number that matches is different for me.
oops i put a 8 instead of a 6 at the end. Your right!

Ok that explains the label, but then leaves me to wonder who would remove a 9 from the case on this card, so dumb

Little more info here.
I was able to find his source for this “Snap Cards”
www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-Rare-Pokemon-Cards-/272380374752?hash=item3f6b22aee0:g:3l0AAOSwLnBX3asm
As you can see here, he tells me he can get the follow Snap cards… which also are the 3 fakes currently being sold. He pretty much gave himself away to me when he offered me the fake “Prerelease Charizard” and thought I’d bite.

Considering the photo is from IG, the quality is dog shit. If you had a proper scan or photo of the card, I bet the corners and/or text would be off.
This was just posted in the garbage thread today. From a distance, especially a blurry photo, the card looks “fine”. In person, I guarantee the card stock is of a cheap business card.
This situation highlights exactly why fakes are problematic.

I wasn’t aware PSA sold grading cases, is this something new they’re doing.
