>>55496611the card stock itself is what gave it away
it felt very flimsy and paper thin
took me several minutes to find a Japanese card from the actual set though (gym 1)
I sold most of my original era cards
which evidently was a mistake
it is literally impossible to tell by peoples photos online
I'm done trying to buy on eBay especially for loose cards
wasn't even a rare
wasn't even remotely rare
wasn't even worth any type of financial interest
literally it was 20 bucks
wow
