    Hello everyone.

    I was helping my son clean his room when i found a stack of cards not in his sleeve. Is i inserted them i saw that some of them had the 1st edition logo on the left side. Knowing that some cards are valuable i went to google and found the site pricecharting. Some of the cards were valued over several hundreds and even thousands, depending on grade (had to google what that meant aswell).

    I have a hard time imagning my 7 year old son owns card of that value since im the one buying the packs. If i remember correctly most of the packs are from Sword & Shield 11. I know hes been trading some cards with classmates at his school.

    Ive read hear that fakes are fairly common so i wont hold my breath, but heres to hoping.

    Thanks.

    I have eight pictures in total but could only post five of them in my original post. Here are the last three.

    I have one edtra question regarding picture: 20230312_190218.jpg
    On the bottom its printed © 1995, 96, 98, 99 Nintendo, Creatures, GAMEFREAK. ©1999 Wizards. But i can only find cards without the 99 (after 98). Does that mean its a fake?

    All of them are fake, unfortunately. The positioning of the holofoil pattern matches the first image result on Google when it should be random. That and the plain, rainbowy sheen showing through the ink tells me that the pattern was just printed on and doesn't twinkle/move around when tilted in the light.
     
    Thank you for the answer. Can't say I'm surprised.

    He also have a Boltund vMax that shimmers when you move it around. I guess that's what the rainbow should look like.
     
    I have every single one of those cards, and none perfectly match. Fake.
