Does this look fake to those of you who know how it should look? I understand that there should be holo near the weakess, which there appears to be here. To me, the top border seems very large.
Very fake

Whats the giveaway so I understand for the future. I’ve never had any of these cards in my hands before. The borders seem too thick in my opinion
- Top/Bottom borders are the wrong width
- The holo pattern shouldn’t remove chunks of the ink (see text box)
- The holo pattern shouldn’t have an iridescent/rainbow glow like MTG foils
- If you asked for a video, the cosmos holofoil pattern would not shift like it should under different lightings

Thank you for this, and sorry for whats probably a repetitive thread
No problem, gotta be careful nowadays! I’ve seen this fake many times already. Also, Shining Gyarados, Shining Magikarp, Shining Charizard, etc. Many are listed on Japanese markets too, which could be a first red flag.
