And no matter how many times I report them on eBay for being counterfeit, they rule against me. What does that say about eBay? Btw, I'm talking like $300-1500 listings sometimes.
while not these gold cards, I did find a seller who had real cards and one that wasn't. Reported it twice to ebay, it came back saying it was real. I contacted the seller and they thanked me and removed it. It was an older card and I think he didn't really know. looked to be from a personal childhood collection. ebay doesn't review reports. I also got scammed by a person mislisting a card. Had to return it for false listing. reported it to ebay, literally said I was wrong. it was insane. they just have a bot that I think rolls a D20 and if you hit 20 it will listen to you, and the other 19 times it won't.
I know who that seller is, he’s always at comic cons here in Chicago. We just had one and I’ll tell you his prices are always high. Don’t bother asking him for wiggle room on prices either he won’t do it.
@@michaelkrynski7793 exactly, we all know you got to make money too but man don’t up charge so damn much. He had vintage holos that weren’t even near mint basically asking near mint pricing or more. They think people are stupid but there not buyers are very aware of what cards go for nowadays.
People buy the packs and then claim oh I didn’t realise. “You brought them for €3!” Now you’re selling them at €20 a card! Did you think you were the smartest businessman around? All this money sitting on the table but all of us in Pokémon didn’t realise. Na. You know they’re fake
Dude still dont understand how ppl can sell those for anything above 2$ they look so fake. Also nice throwback to that B.O.B song hadn't heard that in a while Suggestion for tp pokemon: piplup
I was at my favorite in person card store. It was slow. A little boy came in with his mom. He wanted to trade a card he just traded for from a friend. I was one of the fake cards. It was a charard. Of course he thought it was a valuable card. His mom knew it was fake. The sales person I always deal with was very kind to him. The boy was about 8 years old at the time. The mom watched as the Sales person explain how to recognize good cards and bad card. The kid explained what he wanted in a card and why he wanted the Charzard. Of course he had several and helped the kid pick out a reasonably priced one out. The kid and his mom have been back several times.
I feel like these fake cards are like super widespread here in germany. And it's mostly parents getting them on flea markets and such trying to give their kids a cool looking card. (there are a lot of sketchy sellers with fake booster boxes and stuff here) But since both the parents and the children don't know that they are fake I have started to see them being sold on ebay for these prices aswell.
My friends and family know me as the Pokémon guy so I always get friends and family asking me about their collections or their friends collections and they always have at least a few of these gold ones. Pains me to tell them the gold card they think is super rare is basically worthless
To be fair, while I think both are rip-offs, you compared two different sets of cards lol. The pack of 100 are those foil playing cards. Much like a deck of cards, the ones in that binder are the heavy metal ones like the gold mew that pokémon recently did. It's still absolutely a rip-off cuz I think you can get those heavy metal cards for like five bucks a piece online, Just pointing out that they are very different
Imagine a kid or a dad that doesn’t know any better spends $60 just to get embarrassed later when they are told by someone that they are fake. It could sour them from ever buying another Pokémon product
5 bucks for a pack of Pokemon GO, when a tin of 4 packs cost nearly $11-13 currently? I actually just got a fresh case of 6 Pokemon GO tins for like $78. Underrated set, still cheap and fun to rip open for the price. 5 bucks a pack though? That pack better be guaranteed a hit.
My brother-in-law bought me a box of these for Christmas. I give them out for free with purchases and label them proxys because there are people out there who just don't know
I literally had this at a local yearly garage sale in town last weekend. Guy had so many fakes all marked at like $12-$15 and some real cards mixed in but like asking for $20-$30 for basic ultra rares, and lower. I was like, woooow.
Good lord. Like, I got some pretty cool custom cosplay pika cards off aliexpress before, cause I'm a nerd. Was like 5 bucks for 55 of em or something. Pika as like kurama from Naruto or Goku and shit like that. Never thought I'd see someone try to flip these like that. Got em top loaded and enshrined even. That is next level sauce bossin'.
I have a rule of thumb.. if you have any bootleg in your booth... i considered everything fake. A hard pass.. feels bad for the ppl who actually buys it.
Agreed. Either the seller can't tell them apart which is a deal breaker. Or the seller can tell them apart and doesn't care which is a deal breaker as well.
Oh man, I see these fake gold cards all over in Croatia...it's so sad man. :( I sell legit cards at my local fair and people often ask me if I have any of those gold cards and I'm like no...those cards are fake and they're like :O but I bought them from a store!
I just want to point out there are people who actively collect bootlegs (sometimes fake marvel/star wars other memorabilia) and sometimes the bootlegs command a higher price than regular items. I think there is a high chance this person has no idea about pokemon and thinks the novelty is unique, without knowing how frowned upon these terrible fakes are. I am sure he got a lot of feedback about it and doesn't see the problem still because he doesn't get it or he is just an a-hole. And to get the price he probably just searched on ebay with the name + gold lowest for sale.
buying them with full knowledge on it to resell is yea super evil, but people are just super ignorant as well. Whats crazy is I have seen at least 3 times parents buy those fake gold cards/super shiny cards from amazon (one spent a pack of 20-ish for 25$, huge markup). When I told one of them its a scam to the max, they didnt know or care and just happy their kids opened it up smiling and to not tell the kids its fake. Some just dont know the pokecard market and dont really care. I just try to give benefit of the doubt, because like you mentioned if selling it on purpose full knowing in a card show of all places, its pretty wild and a lose faith in humanity moment.
My sister bought these for my niece she spent like 30 for a pack of 10.... horrible.... I told her she's gotta look up stuff or talk to me... I ended up giving me niece the arceus metal cards and Mew metal cards
The photo speaks a thousand words. Apart from the fake cards, they have Sword and Shield base booster packs, Celebrations, and Pokemon Go. This person is 1000% a scalper that doesn't give a crap about the hobby. I would be embarrassed to attempt something this scummy, and to put up a display with that shitty selection.
I would pay for that Charmander though. Its hard to call those rip offs because TPC doesnt make that kind of a product. I can look at this and know its a fake card. I have one of Pidgeot and its cool. 15 bucks is a lot but I'd give like three or four bucks for it.
@@OpossumBud Yeah, it is but the metal card is cool. If TPC made them, I would want them but since I want them and TPC isnt making them, I have to go through other methods to get them.
Pokémon is so burned out now. Just not fun anymore. Some cool arts. The TCG is cool and everything… I just think crypto bros made it cringe. All those poketubers… all the constant set releases. Too much hype. The bubble will burst eventually and these cards won’t be worth dick minus a few exceptions.
Ehh. You gotta speak for yourself on that one guy. Maybe try to find joy in a different niche of the hobby to revitalize that feeling for you. Or take a break. I agree on the hype comment with the exception of some cards holding value
Damn, to think that rayquaza is going to be eating someone’s ass in 2025 when there’s another moon paper shortage… but hey thanks for the recognition on the wrench turning virgins, cheers bud! 🍻
Knowingly selling counterfeit items in the US, and attempting to pass them off as authentic is a Federal Crime.
LETS GO CRIMINAL ACTIVITY🔥‼️🔥💯🔥‼️🥴🔥‼️🔥
Would have to prove it's knowingly on their part and prove they are claiming they are legit.
@@poke_hoard422 its pretty obvious they know, especially with a booth and not stating they are fake.
@user-jj3ig1fs2m You can buy them, no law against that. Selling them in the US knowing they are counterfeit is the felony
At least they weren’t autographed by Jason Page.
Plus two points
Dead ☠️😂😂
that's the grossest display of cards and price tags i've seen in awhile
Pretty crap right? 👀
These fakes are absolutely rampant all over Europe 😂😂
Toilet paper art would have been a flex during the pandemic lol
See these at the swampmeet every Sunday poor kids🤦🏽♂️
I fucking hate seeing kids trying to trade with these... it genuinely makes me upset
Nah, that Rayquaza tp art is solid. Good work, Obud.
Nice rayquaza.. that looks hard ..
Damn .. those are pricey...
Very difficult for me at least 😅 appreciate that!
Hell yeah that rayquaza looks awesome!! thanks for redrawing it opossum 👍
Thanks for reminding me 🙏🏽
And no matter how many times I report them on eBay for being counterfeit, they rule against me. What does that say about eBay?

Yeah this is the worst part for me.
I’ve never once successfully taken one of these down.
The only algorithm these scummy scammers see is 🤑🤑🤑
Facts
Not gonna lie the rays pretty fucking dope tbh 🤣🤘
Crappy handed Midas, actual modern literature in the making
The crappy hand of Midas
@@OpossumBud Is that the hand that you dont eat with? Or eat with? Coz' it seems like a lot of the people who make these eat with the poop hand
I know who that seller is, he’s always at comic cons here in Chicago. We just had one and I’ll tell you his prices are always high. Don’t bother asking him for wiggle room on prices either he won’t do it.
I'm Chicago-land as well. It really sucks to see people like that.
@@michaelkrynski7793 exactly, we all know you got to make money too but man don’t up charge so damn much. He had vintage holos that weren’t even near mint basically asking near mint pricing or more. They think people are stupid but there not buyers are very aware of what cards go for nowadays.
What’s up $32 Japanese booster box gang
Props on that Rayquaza bro! That came out pretty sick!
Appreciate that 🙏🏽 I’ll try another one and hopefully do a bit t better
No need homie, it looks dope! Although, I still really wanna see my favorite Mon, Houndoom, up there soon! Can't wait! Keep up the great work! 👍
The drawing of rayquaza reminds me of Kermit the frog lol. Now I can’t unhear rayquaza roaring but in Kermit’s voice 😂
People buy the packs and then claim oh I didn’t realise.
“You brought them for €3!”
Now you’re selling them at €20 a card!
Did you think you were the smartest businessman around? All this money sitting on the table but all of us in Pokémon didn’t realise.
Na. You know they’re fake
True true. Parents get tricked due to no research!! Kids will think they have the best cards only to realise they are fake.
better rayquaza than i could ever draw 😂
Dude still dont understand how ppl can sell those for anything above 2$ they look so fake. Also nice throwback to that B.O.B song hadn't heard that in a while
Suggestion for tp pokemon: piplup
You should draw Mr Mime as a shout out to Poke Rev

Send them in to CGC that’s when the real money starts coming
I’d say bro got scammed himself and is now re selling them lol

An Amazon liquidation store near me sells those boxes of fake cards for $20 LMAO
I had to search Pokémon virgin gang on UA-cam because I forgot your name
Should make some stickers that say ' Fake Pokemon Gold Cards ' and slap that on the display case.
Love the TP art, did I miss the Bidoof or has it not been made yet?
My friends and family know me as the Pokémon guy so I always get friends and family asking me about their collections or their friends collections and they always have at least a few of these gold ones. Pains me to tell them the gold card they think is super rare is basically worthless
Ray looks great ngl 🎉
I appreciate that 🙏🏽

Bro! How did you know i used to turn wrenches!?!?!?!? I LOVE THIS CHANNEL😂😂😂😂😂😂
I absolutely hate this practice as well. You even see them on eBay.
Bro the worst part is those fake gold cards looook soooo bad like they don’t even look good at all
Thats pretty good Rayquaza on t.p. 👏
Thank you 🙏🏽
What's the highest bidder on the TP Rayquaza?
Rayquaza is my favorite Dragon. Loved the art today!
Dude imagine they ask you to draw a tcg card
Do you have a minute to talk about Our Lord & Saviour Arceus?
Several 👀
5 bucks for a pack of Pokemon GO, when a tin of 4 packs cost nearly $11-13 currently?
I actually just got a fresh case of 6 Pokemon GO tins for like $78. Underrated set, still cheap and fun to rip open for the price. 5 bucks a pack though? That pack better be guaranteed a hit.
I didn’t think of that song in ages, memory unlocked!!
These fake cards are all over the place, I hate when people call them "fan art" they are proxies or fake mass produced nonsense
My brother-in-law bought me a box of these for Christmas. I give them out for free with purchases and label them proxys because there are people out there who just don't know
There’s an online auction every Saturday where I live and last weekend these were selling anywhere from $5-$20 per card
Dope artwork!!!! Day 2 of asking for tp gloom
I literally had this at a local yearly garage sale in town last weekend. Guy had so many fakes all marked at like $12-$15 and some real cards mixed in but like asking for $20-$30 for basic ultra rares, and lower. I was like, woooow.
That Ray actually looks really good!!! I can only draw stick figures.
Good lord. Like, I got some pretty cool custom cosplay pika cards off aliexpress before, cause I'm a nerd. Was like 5 bucks for 55 of em or something. Pika as like kurama from Naruto or Goku and shit like that. Never thought I'd see someone try to flip these like that. Got em top loaded and enshrined even. That is next level sauce bossin'.

What you think about wrennymoo?
Not much
"Advanced Base Set Cards" haha
Maybe laminate the TP Artwork might make it easier to travel with and hand out, plus it will protect them. Have you done a Shuckle yet?? lol
I'm thinking there'll be a toilet paper pokemon by Gen 10. How would drawing that thing work out?
Just speaks to the character of the sellers as well. Always avoid these booths at conventions/expos.
Nice Rayquaza👌…can you do Groudon👍
Are CGC grading them?
Probably
This happens with Lego, but it's easy to tell. However, kids are still tricked
Your rayquaza looks like an AI rendition of rayray. I love it
TP Teddiursa next?
Day 1 of asking you to draw Shedinja. Its 1am please dont make me ask again please i wanna sleep.
I could probably do that!
Pretty sure it's illegal to sell fake stuff like that
Charging $15 for an unlicensed card is wild 😂
Salamanquaza
That ray ray is fire 🔥
Oh man, I see these fake gold cards all over in Croatia...it's so sad man. :(
I sell legit cards at my local fair and people often ask me if I have any of those gold cards and I'm like no...those cards are fake and they're like :O but I bought them from a store!
Damn I wish I can see this dealer, I want to see if that person will buy my singles for 8 each
DO GIRATINA NEXT! 😮🤓
Ayy
What’s up!
Nah bro I talked to the guy they’re legit, trust
They're trying to Prey

Draw us a Wiglet being swallowed by a Weepingbell?
If it ain’t Caterpie EX, I ain’t buying!
Day 4 of asking to draw 2 voltorbs and a diglett in between them
Bro yall are gonna get me cancelled 😂
Where is my TP TTAR
Usually these videos are a good laugh but this is just tooooo skummy.
Opossumbud is one of the sanest guys on this platform .. people should listen to this guy

I'd Die Laughing

Its okay if you use these cards as proxies in non-official tourneys. However, as an overpriced cardboard? Thats beyond recognition.
@krystalkollectz can finally sleep 🐉
selling by weight 😅
I got the magicccc in meeee
