PokéCommunity is preparing to undergo a major update in 2023. All members should ensure they can access the email associated with their account as a password reset might be required post-update. The exact date of transition will be made available at a later date.

It appears IMGUR will be (and apparently has already started) deleting images that weren't uploaded directly to an account. You can check the update notes on IMGUR here.

We know a lot of you will have used IMGUR to upload images for your threads and other PC content (signatures, flairs, etc.) and not everyone was doing so with an account.

Pokémon Cards

icycatelf, May 15: Look them up on PriceCharting. Holos are your best bet. Make sure they're from the same set, edition, etc. though (post photos/scans if you need help IDing these).

Not sure if this is an error card or not.

icycatelf, May 8: I can confirm that it's a counterfeit. Attack and name fonts aren't quite bold enough, some of the spacing is off (between the Ability icon and name, for example), and wrong illustrator credit.

donavannj, Mar 18: I think they're asking if that's a fair trade as it's one they're facing at their local shop. And it's a completely unbalanced trade as Charizard VStar for Corviknight VMax alone is already a trade that's unbalanced.

I got this rainbow secret rare Gyarados card and noticed it's number is wrong??

icycatelf, Mar 9: It's counterfeit. Misnumbered cards aren't uncommon among fakes, and fake full arts often lack the texture. Another thing to look out for is shiny strokes around the text. Real full arts should have opaque white stokes.
