Hey everyone,
tldr: More accounts are DMing users who post claiming they can authenticate and then push the results from their app. This sub has nothing to do with them, has banned them for it, and they usually want you to sign up for their "service" which you already get for free here. At best its unsolicited marketing, at worst it will be a scam. Report to reddit, report to the mods to make sure they are banned, ignore or block the users who do this.
Mods have been receiving messages that users posting keep receiving direct messages from others offering to authenticate, value, grade, and whatever else their cards. Sometimes they ask for more photos, sometimes they just use what has been posted. The funny part is that they often use ai to determine fake or authentic and can often be wrong.
Anyways, this post is mostly for awareness to be suspect of any DMs you get claiming to help verify authenticity and always check the accounts. Report to reddit if you can, block if you can, but please please please, do not give anyone money who is telling you they can determine the authenticity of your cards over the internet.
This sub is not, nor will it ever be, affiliated with any kind of paid service for crowd sourced information. Thats not what this sub is for, nor is it helpful to people just trying to understand if a card is fake.
Feel free to comment anything that you feel needs to be addressed in the sub to be looked into. Thanks everyone for being helpful!

Thought I would share a little cheat sheet that illustrates the biggest differences in font that I look for when evaluating the legitimacy of PSA Slabs. The K, G, and 7 are always the biggest/quickest giveaways for me, but there are some others that can be easily identified as well. Feel free to share this image with anyone that might need it ❤️
Happy Hunting!

vintage Alright, hit me with the cold water: is this Fossil Dragonite fake? It looked legit to me when buying, but after comparing it to other cards the color on the back looks off. Not sure if it’s just variation between old & new cards?

Was going through the old shoe box to find some cool cards and noticed the egregious centering on this Muk. After a closer look I noticed the border is yellow rather than the blue it should be.
Could this be an error card? Or is it a bad fake?

vintage Is this one of those fake 1st edition vintage cards?
•
Upvotes
Since hearing about the newer very well made vintage 1st edition fakes out there, I've become a little bit nervous when buying. It's not the money aspect in this case as this is an $8 card, it's more so wanting authentic cards and not having any fakes mixed into my collection.
Does this 1st edition look legitimate? I don't believe the card itself is fake, but rather the 1st edition stamp could have been added later. Any thoughts? I'd appreciate it!
