So I bought some holo cards from ebay to try to replace some banged up cards I have in my collection. I didn't pay a lot for these cards, but they also were not suspiciously cheap. I bought from a seller who specializes in cards and has 100% positive ratings. I got three cards. Two of which look completely legit. One is a little iffy. It is a holo Ninetales from the base set. Knowing that anything bought from ebay is questionable at best, I closely examined each card and this one only has two things that bother me about it: it's miscut and the color seems washed out. Everything else about it checks out, however. I can see the black layer of paper when looking at the edge of the card, the texture is similar enough, only smoother than the card I have because it's in better condition, and the image and holo foil is exactly like the card I have. Basically it doesn't look "off" until you look kind of close at it.
I've attached images of the base set Ninetales cards I have.
In the first two images, the questionable card is on the bottom. The third image it's on the right. The last image it is the card on the bottom of the stack (it's not the card in terrible condition).
