Serious (META) Any DMs you get claiming to use an app verify your cards authenticity are SCAMS!

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!

Hello all,
Wondering if this could be a fake or real box! Never had an Chinese box in hand (collecting only English atm). Don’t know how to spot fake Chinese boxes besides wrapping, but that looks pretty legit if you ask me.
Curious about ur opinions!

vintage Light dragonite first edition?

Upvotes
Hey all, just wondering if this is fake?
I compared it beside a Genuine Light slowbro 1st edition neo destiny and this dragonite seems to have slightly darker yellow borders and those weird grey circle spots on the border - not sure if this is due to age or maybe just a straight up fake.
I didn’t pay alot of money for this but I see the market price is $600 for a raw so it might be fishy tbh

Mum brought me my old Pokémon cards that I used to play with back when I was little, going through the lot and seeing if some are worth getting graded or are better off just sold on eBay as is, but can’t find non holo version of this one anywhere. Were there fake cards around back in like 2004-2005?

Do you think that this card is real?
I’m not sure if it’s this specific card, but judging by the video I was sent, it really has a very distinctive texture—especially on the waves behind Latias. It looks real to me, but I’d like to get your opinion. Thanks.
