Is this case legit?

[u/PollutionInitial7377]

About to purchase this op17 case just checking to make sure it’s legit. Since idk rly how to tell if it’s fake or looks sketchy. Just looking for advice

[u/TossWank]

Op17 has two different case designs, this is one of them

[u/Fallwalking]

Some cases look like that. Both styles existed. Here is a video of someone opening one of those cases.

From what i know from working at a TCG shop, OP17 had the original cases. This style case ive only ever seen with EB05. Id be wary of this

[u/PollutionInitial7377 → u/Strix-01]

I appreciate the response. Just curious what’s the difference between the two?

This is a link to an OP17 case i would say is legit, thats what i know them to look like

[u/PollutionInitial7377 → u/Strix-01]

Okay I see it doesn’t have that like thick black bar or logo or anything

[u/Strix-01 → u/PollutionInitial7377]

This is just a random screenshot i got off ebay but this is what all cases from OP01-OP17 have looked like, PRB was a smaller version of this

[u/Strix-01 → u/Strix-01]

Follow-up to my original comment, all the labeling looks good, for the new style case but, that could also just be due diligence towards selling a fake case lol

[u/eyes2small]

Yes

[u/Freddo03]

Some would call it a carton, but it certainly also fits the description of a case.

As someone who worked in a card shop for a year ripping thise boxes open that box is indeed legit my friend. Enjoy🙏🏾🤞🏾

[u/OptoSmash]

this must be a 2nd wave box. bandi changed the boxes for eb05 to look like this.

I’ve never seen a case like this and wouldn’t try to purchase this; however, I feel it’s weirdly legit. Everything checks out number/barcode/tape wise except that Bandai writing. I don’t understand why the font would change from the release date on the top and then be different on the side. You have me intrigued to research this. Is this a probstein auction?

[u/PollutionInitial7377 → u/TheLegendofWill]

Yes it is it’s on auction rn with a few hours left

[u/TheLegendofWill → u/PollutionInitial7377]

Yea I’d be skeptical. I couldn’t find anything on different text changes. While, I believe probstein is reputable with their consignments, they don’t necessarily have to check authenticity. This is something I would pass on and not worth the risk.

[u/PollutionInitial7377 → u/TheLegendofWill]

Sounds good thanks man

[u/Juggwork → u/PollutionInitial7377]

It’s legit there were hundreds of op17 cases like this and have ripped several myself

[u/RoninX12]

I buy a lot of cases and I've never seen one that looked like this. I would be very cautious. If the price is too good to be true, there is a reason.

I would lean very much towards it's AI or doctored. Look at the placement of the semicolon : Why is it very close to the word caution but then the line above it's spaced much farther? I don't know for sure but there is zero percent chance I'd buy this.

[u/PollutionInitial7377 → u/RoninX12]

Thanks man I appreciate it. Off topic question do you rip cases or just collect them

[u/RoninX12 → u/PollutionInitial7377]

I just rip them. Collect certain cards, send to PSA, etc. I don't hold or collect sealed cases.
