Yahoo! Japan Scam with a Twist

The image on the listing is a PSA 10 with the corrected version.

The PSA scan of that cert shows a PSA 10 with the error version (extra white energy circle in 2nd attack by left front paw). Bless PSA for adding scans of every card graded.

This listing is so confusing. It’s possible the seller is thinking they are making more money by putting a fake label on, but if the card is authentic, it would be much more valuable if it wasn’t what the PSA scan has. Which ironically would be beating the scammer.

That card looks really fake to me as it looks to have a classic fake card rainbow type foil overlay. I think both the slab and card are fake in this instance so it’s just a scammer not understanding the difference in versions.

Thanks. I was thinking the glittery holo effect wasn’t coming through on the photos, so it seemed off to me as well. The PSA label also looks too bright.

That slab immediately jumps out to me as fake. If you compare the text spacing on the PSA label, it’s visibly off (clearest instance is in POKEKYUN), and the font is incorrect too (see the 2s).

I believe the card and slab are fake.
