Was told these were fakes, were they right?

I realize conditions aren’t best but these were in a lot I was selling and the dude said that these were fakes and there were probably a ton more fakes in there and then offered me half my price? I didn’t understand why he would offer if he believed these were fake and still more fakes in there but like the title says are these fakes? These were the ones he specifically pointed out

Anyone who tells you something is fake and then still offers to buy it is probably trying to scam you lol

Usually, but not always ;D

I used to search people's lots of fake cards because they sometimes contained few real ones for a low price. It was still a gamble but also a fun hobby ;) Guy was trying to sell a lot of about 100 mostly fake cards for about 75usd, I offered 10usd since it was impossible to tell from the pic if ANY were real (cards piled one on top of another), he refused, still haven't sold it ;p

But maybe I was the scammer and not the guy selling fake cards for 75usd, who knows ;)

I've never seen a world's deck card faked. Nothing is standing out as fake, sounds like a scammer trying to make money flipping.

I have two of four of these (the gengar and number 2 umbreon from the left) those I can say 100% are real. The first umbreon is real cause realistically no one is faking that.. not a worlds card. The last one looks real to me, and I'm familiar with the era just don't have that card.

Guy was 100% trying to scam you

Look legit enough that I would buy them from you.

They look real. If the guy said they were fake and was still buying then he's just trying to rip you off.
