Recently, my wife purchased me a box of cards from a Flea Market. I scanned through them and noticed a lot of good cards, or so I thought. Upon closer inspection, they were fake cards.
Here are some notable examples:
Altaria - This card evolved from Loudred. I thought, at first, I actually got me a rare typo card.
Latios - The name on this card was Lation. This is the one that clued me in to fake.
After seeing this, I looked even closer. The fonts were slightly off, the color icons were a different size, the backs were a different shade of blue, and the card itself was about a milimeter larger in size. None of the cards that had holographic material on them were holographic (promo Dialga LvX). There were about 50 cards in the box.
There were several cards in this box that would have completed several evolution chains I had going, and this ****** me off even moreso.
The reason I say this is for you guys to be aware that the fakes are out there and people are trying to sell them as the real thing.
Anyway, that's my rant.
