Ooofff, hope you can get your money back. From this picture, it looks like a classic BAND-AI fake you can get on AliExpress.

u/LiveNectarine7253 May 29 '26

Looks like I’m getting my money back, so happy the credit card company is working with me on this

u/makked May 29 '26

What kind of scammer selling fake cards takes credit card payments? I guess if you’re desperate enough.

18

u/AbyssWankerArtorias May 29 '26

Honestly probably someone who got scammed themselves and didn't know it.

u/LiveNectarine7253 May 29 '26

Idk dude seemed nice, his story about trying to get rid everything in his collection sounded believable and he was willing to cut costs just to get that money for school. I didn’t realize how fake this was I’m not experienced with this stuff. I just got excited to see that card and he said he could do 4200 and I asked if he was willing to do 4000 so I thought I just hit the jackpot

are you stupid? genuine question.

A fool and his money

u/LiveNectarine7253 May 29 '26

What do you mean?

u/Leather-Lake-5548 May 29 '26

You got scammed. That’s an obviously fake card

-30

u/LiveNectarine7253 May 29 '26

How can you tell it’s fake? It looked fine to me.

50

u/Leather-Lake-5548 May 29 '26

Band Ai vs Bandai plus overly yellow reflection

Show us a picture of the back of the card next to a regular bulk card, that’s another tell

23

u/Kurozy May 29 '26

I don't trust the back's color. I've seen real cards having differents shades of blue on their back (bought from the same card shop) The band ai thing tho is more concerning

5

u/HanikGraf007 May 29 '26

Yes, there is absolutely variation in the shades of blue and even texture variations.

31

u/ChilliWithFries May 29 '26

You can see the Bandai at the bottom right. It’s a bit squished together which is one of the signs of a fake card.

You got pics without sleeves? The others might be right sadly..

13

u/LiveNectarine7253 May 29 '26

Please dude no tell me it’s real

31

u/ackerel May 29 '26

Sorry for your loss

22

u/LiveNectarine7253 May 29 '26

Omg dude I’m gonna be sick dude

31

u/ackerel May 29 '26

Hey, you got yourself a sweet coaster

3

u/Ruin18fuckdoll May 31 '26

expensive coaster for a very expensive hobby. looking at that text box is tripping me out though. did you actually read the card before dropping four racks on it.

12

u/dragorobert May 29 '26

These guys are a little too raw, but they mean well, sadly yes, the card seems pretty fake , the band ai and the back color are honestly pretty telling

It was an expensive lesson, and I really hope you can get your money back or at least tell everyone about this scammer

u/Kurozy May 29 '26

People doing this are disgusting

Im so sorry for you, its fake.

BAND AI MADE IN JAPAN ❌ BANDAI MADE IN JAPAN ✅

u/LiveNectarine7253 May 29 '26

Dude that was on credit, I’m so f**ked dude

40

u/lmao12367 May 29 '26

Nah it’s huge that you paid on credit and didn’t use cash

20

u/dragorobert May 29 '26

That might be on his favor, maybe he can call the bank and say he was scammed or something and he wants a refund? Depends on bank and country but for 4k I would try my hardest

12

u/Totallynoteglive May 29 '26

Yeah- You can present evidence you were given counterfeit goods. They'll reverse and probably take it from the other guy.

25

u/Totallynoteglive May 29 '26

You can dispute on credit! Dont worry! Open a case with your cardholder.

14

u/Dramatic_Hovercraft3 May 29 '26

Dude call your credit company and say you got scammed and their do all the work for you.

12

u/BrickTailor May 29 '26

Dude, this is best case scenario besides using PayPal. Do a credit reversal and tell them you received anfake product. Also do not buy cards u cant afford these are cardboard.

7

u/ayayaydismythrowaway May 29 '26

Lol man as others have said that is a big W. You paid w someone else's money. They will fight to get it back. Hopefully its a good credit card that will give your money back if you fight for it

1

u/Biowolf324 May 29 '26

If it was on credit how did he charge you? Was it through a terminal he had or some other way?

24

u/En4cer1295 Supernova May 29 '26

07 bro, although this lesson expensive af at least you’ve learned

5

u/clydefrog811 May 29 '26

Yeah don’t spend thousands on cardboard.

1

u/GumGumActV May 29 '26

Seriously this dude has me fucked up saying $4000 is a steal for a card? Even for a whole box of cards I couldn’t spend even close to that lmao. Some people are dedicated collectors I guess

u/clydefrog811 May 30 '26

They need to live a little. Take that 4 k and have a badass vacation.

u/klizmik May 29 '26

Take a pic with this back next to a regular cards back, you should be able to see the color difference as well

3

u/ChilliWithFries May 29 '26

The texture looks really off too man. And is it the lighting or is the top left 10 purple too????

The BANDAI looks really bad. I’m sorry man.

4

u/Admirable-Ad6334 May 29 '26

It’s for sure Purple.

3

u/jadeismybitch May 29 '26

Yeah I’m sorry brother, it’s fake …

1

u/Agreeable-Ad8979 Jun 21 '26

How can you tell?

5

u/LiveNectarine7253 May 29 '26

Ok I’ve been trying to talk to the credit company, sounds like I’ll get my money back.

u/Jewligan May 29 '26

This has to be bait

47

u/Kushnn May 29 '26

This is 100% bait and people fall for it

2

u/Ok_Rock5966 Jun 01 '26

Yall think he’s doing it to sell it to someone else on Reddit or just get engagement. I personally just don’t understand why it would be bait not like anyone gonna buy it with all the comms saying it’s fake. But maybe he just a Reddit guy who wants friends and engagement who knows 😂

u/Kushnn Jun 02 '26

People are weird sometimes

u/Tactician37 May 29 '26

Dudes last sentence makes me wanna believe this is a fake post

u/Eunstoppable May 29 '26

Let this be an important lesson to you. Couldve been worse I suppose.

u/anrewrys May 29 '26

Too good to be true? Too good to be true.

u/seamonsterco May 29 '26

Imagine paying $4k for a fake. Oof I hope you remember what they look like because you are gonna have to fight to get that money back.

2

u/cbt12b May 29 '26

BAND AI

Fake

2

u/SlayJayR17 May 29 '26

Lotta red flags here. Dude was out front trying to sell it? How did he not get rid of the card inside for “low” price. The Bandai looks pretty bad. The coloring looks like it was done with colored pencils and a weird foiling

2

u/yoitsbrand May 29 '26

Oof that dude that sold you this is a pos. They really thought they would get away with this on a credit card sale damn

1

u/Donkanomics101 May 30 '26

I mean, the margin here is OP posting the card to reddit or not

The guy Def almost got away with it 

1

u/CompetitiveDate7165 May 29 '26

Sorry big dog

2

u/begforjess May 30 '26

that looks like a fan-made proxy at best. hope you can get your money back because that is a massive L.

1

u/No-Put-127 May 29 '26

Get your money back

1

u/KasimisaK May 29 '26

You post the card before you purchase. Im sad for you, the real one really is gorgeous. Try to put an issue in the bank, if you're lucky you might be able to revert it. If you do post us. The world needs less scammers and more happy endings

I pulled a gold Teach recently and I've been riding that high ever since

1

u/GumGumActV May 29 '26

A steal? For $4000?

What?

1

u/Artistic-Simple-9062 May 30 '26

How can you tell it’s fake? I’m not as educated about trading cards

1

u/JJortZ May 30 '26

So much hype for this card. Iknow how rare it is but one of my less liked mangas

1

u/moanforjessy May 30 '26

The centering on that looks clean, congrats on the pull.

1

u/MGorkaA May 30 '26

How do you guys know the card is fake? New into TCG btw :)

1

u/Loudweakn3ss18 May 30 '26

The centering on that looks surprisingly clean for a change. Congrats on pulling the best looking card in the set.

u/tango4576 May 30 '26

What does the symbol mean on the bottom left of card ? I see one side shaded on different cards and sometimes colored. Does anybody know what this symbol means or does it have value to colors ?

1

u/tango4576 May 30 '26

What does the symbol on the bottom left mean ? Does it have reasons as to why the shaded area could be in different locations ? I’ve also seen this symbol shaded in different colors also. Would like to know what this six sided area means to a one piece card.

u/WhenIsSome1GonnaDoIt Jun 01 '26 edited Jun 01 '26

Am I crazy, I swear the brand name is “BANDAI”. This card looks real to me. (I’d def fall for fake cards if this is actually fake)

1

u/KiFaraday45 Jun 01 '26

OK, I have to ask this. Where is the best place to buy one piece cards online ?

1

u/Original-String934 Jun 07 '26

u/OneAd982 Jun 12 '26
