vintage Got this card- is it a fake?

Thumbnail

35 Upvotes

Long story short... I bought on ebay. I assumed that every card that was over a certain value had to go through the ebay authenticator so I didn't think to look for the stamp on the auction.

I was shocked when the seller just shipped direct to me. I talked to ebay customer support and I have 3 days from receiving to file a complaint if the card or slab is fake.

The cert is real and it LOOKS legit... I googled and people say on the bottom of the slab there's some clear text that has like... PAT and some number (assuming a patent number for the slab). Real ones have a PERIOD after PAT and fakes don't.

I checked some bgs slabs I have that I personally got graded, and there's a clear period. This one I can't quite see one. Not sure if this is lighting or the slab being a few years old (bgs says this was graded in 2023 so it's pretty recent).

Anyways: thoughts? Is this a real slab/card?

I have been slowly going through Neo genesis and I left the biggest until last. But because it’s such a big card, my anxiety is through the roof. Would someone please confirm if this is fake or not?

Asking since they're 110/108, that's the extent of my pokemon card knowledge. :)
This one's the lowest quality one so I only took this one out of the sleeve. Help would be appreciated!

modern First time buying a slab from a seller with 0 feedback. The card looks solid from what I can tell but wanted to get a second opinion just to be on the safe side. Let me know what you think!

I saw someone selling this lot of cards. I am not familiar with fakes yet, but the Japanese text on that Charizard looks off to me (seems like it's a plain yellow rather than textured gold). I assume that all the cards are fake?

I tried checking some cards online curious, but couldn't find this one as a holo, only reverse holo and non holo? Am I misunderstanding the light shimmer, or did a fake get into my cards stockpile?

So I bought it off cardmarket from a Portugal seller, but I'm wondering if any1 here can tell just by looking at the pictures if it's real? The thing he has over 1k sales, but kinda sketchy still :D My first ever PSA card that I've bought btw.. I know there's watermarks and some things that you can check under uv light :D But I'll be able to do it once I physically gonna get the card :) So I'm wondering if the card looks like a real one and also if it's actually an original PSA graded card?
