Yooo! It was nice meeting you too. Looking forward to seeing your perspective. Also thank you for confirming my suspicions. It weirded me out he immediately left for other tables without ripping the fake.
@@DarkTruth1 Nah I came to say the same thing. He's probably guilty if he was offering everything at half market value. But his nod at the beginning could've just been a nod to indicate he understands. As far as not ripping a card, there's no shot I would've ripped a potentially $130 card just because someone says to. Like, if the rip test is negative, would the vender pay for the lost value?
Plus when he first tells him it's fake if that was me and my card and had no idea. I would say what let me see and react in a total different way. Guilt written all over his face
Me either. For all he knows, this guy is wrong. I'd be hesitant to rip a card unless at least 2 or 3 people said the same thing. If he was smart, he'd straight up ask another vendor or 2 if it was real. Just be up front that now he's unsure.
Yup! That guy is guilty AF. When you told him about that first card he was not shocked and did not care, he was trying to read you! He knew what he was doing!!! Scammer!!!
When I found out about $150 of my cards were fake I reacted the same way, I listened as the “expert” explained to me how he knows they are fake, but I didn’t get mad, or sad, what good would that do. I just thanked him, went home and riped one there, sure enough those were fake. One does have to ask, why pring a fake card to a place where experts are, like a card show. Anyway, maybe guilty, maybe not.
His reaction(s) seem pretty legit to me? Like a dad who is clueless about his (also clueless) son's collection. I can understand also why he wouldnt rip the card right there, to protect his son a bit (if they really thought the card was real, the disappointment was there already). Maybe he even bought all the cards for his son, spend heaps, only to find out he got ripped off by his supplier. Could be me tho...
Right. All these people in the comments saying “he 100% knew” is just bizarre. Not everyone’s a scammer some people just don’t know, I can’t tell You how many times I’ve told people they have fake cards it happens all the time. Dude keeps saying “ I wanna give them total benefit of the doubt” but proceeds to attempt to ruin their reputation 😂
Posts a video, talks bad on them, don't know 100% it's fake but expects someone that spent hard earned money on an item to just ruin it... Kinda cringe to real. You bring this guy some $1,000,000,000 autograph collectible, he smashed it... "See it's not real, I always tell people when I smash the picture frame on the ground kind of hard if the glass shatters it's definitely a fake!" 😂😂😂 "That guy is shady, he didn't want me to smash his $1,000,000,000 collectible on the ground to prove it's fake!"
@@IsaiahMusic_ no risk to the TH-camr, but if the dad paid $140 and rips it and it's real you know the TH-camr won't pay for it 😂😂😂 He would just be like "Oh! My bad, I didn't know, it really looked like some of the fakes I see" then the kid would hate his dad for ripping the $140 card he JUST bought him 😂
@@robertoibarra751 if I paid $140 for a card I would go and try to sell it for my $140 back, he must be a good dude if he cut the price in half😂 How you guys making him the bad guy 😂😂😂😂 If I pay $140 for a Santa Cruz skateboard 🛹 and some skater was like "bro that's not even a Santa Cruz, watch, bang it sideways on the curb the fakes always split!"

The kid could be the collector and the dad just drives him and pays... I know when my son was in elementary school I personally didn't know the values of Pokemon cards until my son's bus driver and the school principal called me to apologize and let me know he was trading some older kids on the bus on his way home and the bus driver overheard the kids whispering how my son had better cards then them and if they act like theirs are better they could steal his by "TRADE", she called the police, the principal, me, the kids parents, they had to meet us in the principals office after the bus had just dropped them off and they had to give them all back and apologize before they were both expelled for doing it repeatedly to younger kids. I asked my wife why they didn't and she said each card has a different value so they gave him garbage cards and took all his expensive ones. I said "No more Pokemon at school!" 😂
@@Fang_Face at the same time they could have asked this guy and two other people at the show then went to a different show to double/triple/quadruple check and these guys all post suspicious like this guy now everyone assumes the innocent dad and kid did something wrong when all they want to do is join a community that rejects them 😂
This honestly just looks like a man that was supporting his sons hobby and he’s spent money buying cards online just to find out that they’re fake. I have fallen victim to buying fake cards, even one from a pawnshop where the owner didn’t know much about Pokémon. It was such a hassle, trying to get those cards returned because he wanted to know how I knew they were fake
If you told me a card was fake, I wouldn't rip it up without knowing more. No offense, but I don't know you well enough to take your word for it. I would be willing to send it off to PSA for grading. If it comes back as fake, then I would rip it, but I'm not going to act solely based on your statement.
The "dad" is 100% a total scammer. If someone brings you a binder full of cards and every single expensive card they're trying to pawn off on you is fake, you know they're just using the child as a front to lower your guard. If I'd brought these cards and found out they were fake, I wouldn't necessarily have ripped the cards, but they definitely would've gotten the card backing of shame treatment (placed back in the binder with the back side facing up)
I recently read a book on this. Can’t recall the title, but yeah, body language is 100% worthless. We fool ourselves into thinking we know something because the alternative sucks. May have been Talking to Strangers by Malcom Gladwell.
I don’t think the head nod was a tell sign. But the fact the were unfazed when you told them were fake is a huge tell sign. Their reaction was not surprised
The dad clearly looks like the kind of one that buys his kids pokemon card packs from a boot sale for a dollar, gets angry the kid is whining they are fake and decides to do it himself. The lad clearly knows they're fake and it's simply not going to work before even going to the desk.
while yes, he could be "socially awkward" and was just ready to pull out the "normal human interaction handbook" and started to nod when asked if he knew something, but once realizing what he said switched to shaking. this is usually not the case, especially when grouped with the rest of the body language, notably no eye-contact, thumbing through packs while somewhat listening, etc. i noticed another seller commented about their own experience with these guys, and i personally (im just a dude, not a detective) would say that they knew what they were doing. the unfortunate part about anything in life is that there will always be people like this, especially when money is involved. the best thing you can do is always use resources available to you, whether it be trusted peers or even (TRUSTED) internet sources. as unlikely as it is to go an entire career without falling victim to the likes of these people, its always good to learn from others' (and ofc your own) mistakes and always work towards making yourself and your merchandise as safe as humanly possible. im sorry to you and anyone else who has encountered people like this, i truly hope you know the large majority of the community are very kind and super caring. dont let one bad apple convince you the entire orchard is bad :)
I am not a Pokemon collector, but a magic collector. If someone professional pointed out that in my collection there are not just one but two fake cards, if I was genuine, I would ask him for a favour to point out the inconsistencies + if they could identify any more fake cards in my collection. Cause I would be definitely be concerned about loosing the value of the collection.
I agree. They did nothing wrong. They were learning and didn't know if he knew what he was talking about. A lot of people don't realize the guy's at the booths aren't always innocent 😂 They be trying to tell people like this guy and the kid it's fake on video then chasing them down in the parking lot "Aye yo let me get another look real quick! My bad bro! My buddy said I was wrong I can pay full price or trade!" Or they say it's fake then be like "But I'll take it off yours hands for like $20" just because they know it's real and know the kid and dad are new to collecting. It goes both ways so the vendor shouldn't act so innocent 😇 His kind are more shady, that is why they are there to begin with! To sell cards for more and get over on people that don't know any better 😂 But to not know 100% it's a fake and then bash a dad and his kid and also not blur the minors face seems kind crazy to me! I guess it's okay to blame innocent people and make them look bad and destroy their reputation before they even have one! And show the kid so on Monday at school after Thanksgiving break just got over all the other kids can clown on him for being a fake Pokemon card scammer 😢
Their facial expression is guilty as sin. They knew the cards are fake. They probably got scammed and saw a young vendor thinking they coupd swindle u. U should have ripped both of the cards and stated if they're real, you'd pay for them. That Dragonite had me for a second as well.
Lmao this dad had no clue, the kid might've known but people like you need to get out of the house, off of the computer and stop playing detective on the internet. If you actually ever had any human interaction you'd know the dad clearly had no idea. He was just nodding along with the kid explaining the difference in holo, etc. not really understanding anything other than him saying it was fake and to "rip it". Dude isn't about to tear what could be a $100 card in half on the say so of a rando in a booth.
@@lollercoaster4 exactly, I wouldn't rip my card because some stranger told me he's the pro 😂 When the kid looks the same age as my son 😂😂😂😂 These people are rude calling the dad a bad father when he is doing and being the exact opposite of bad. He is literally spending time with his son, spending money on him, bonding, sharing a hobby, LEARNING, they look like they are just getting into collecting and don't know everything but want a second opinion.
should ask more questions such as where did they get the cards from to get more gauge of how they answer - for benefit of doubt, could think this way- the kid got scammed from trades at school (often) and the father didnt know too much of hobby and then finding out while maintaining compsure and pride. Then again I wasnt there so maybe you saw more uncomfortable flags.
Not what happened at all his kid is there so he can try to get free cards from vendors then take it from his kid it’s very common for scumbags like this
You're giving them way too much grace. As someone who is not into Pokemon, but plays other TCGs, even I can tell when a Pokemon card is fake. I think most people who collect any kind of trading cards can just pick one of those cards up and know that no billion dollar corporation would produce something so cheap feeling and looking. The cardstock material alone is something you'd never see used by a real trading card manufacturer.
I tried selling fake Pokemon cards to a dealer one time, unknowingly, of course. My son and I were into buying and collecting Pokemon cards, and he came home one day and had a few rainbow rares he said he traded for some other things. I thought it was strange, because they looked expensive. Even though we had a few cards, I had no idea what Pokemon cards were worth. I had seen a fake Pokemon card before, but it was easy to tell. It was just a sticker over a cheap card. These, seemed legit, at least to my untrained eyes. Long story short, took them to a dealer, and he gave me a dirty look, and asked if that was all I had. I explained that I had other cards, but these were the only ones I thought might be worth something. He then told me they were all fake. I was shocked and embarrassed. I apologized many times, and explained how I got the cards. I explained that I didn't know they made convincing fakes like this. He then showed me the real cards of the fakes ones I had, and they were completely different. The biggest difference, was the texture. Mine, were rainbow, and not textured. Holding the real and fakes ones next to each other, you could easily tell the difference. Lesson learned.
This scares me because i have bought cards off ebay and i don't really know what's fake or not. But I'm not gonna go rip cards to find out I'm wrong, lol
You can always look up pictures of real cards. The holo patterns are such good indicators. Fake cards do not have textures. They just shine most of the time. If you buy enough packs and open some real cards you will be able to tell apart the real and fake ones. I like to buy singles, but definitely go for places like cardmarket or some other places where you can buy them with a trustee system. Hope this helps :D
I feel like the dad and kid bought these from someone else and had no idea they were fake. But today, you never know. Great video, going to check your other content out too
He absolutely tried to sell that fake Draginite until somebody bit. Same with the fake Gengar. One person’s intuition going off, sure coincidence maybe. But both of you getting spidey sense from that interaction, you should watch out! It’s because years of evolution have honed your ability to sense danger/ predator which translates into “bad vibe feelings” from certain situations, and that’s why. Your intuition is able to sense things that you may not otherwise notice, specifically underhanded dealings like this. And if you listen, especially when BOTH of you feel the same bad vibes way about that person, and in this case, for both of you, your intuition is telling you to beware for a reason. If that dude was truly outraged and had no idea it was fake, he would have ripped that card. We all know it.
The way he acts BEFORE you found out the last one was a fake.. kinda sells him out, he doesnt seem until there really worried about not being able to sell a card. Probably thought "this two young vendors will probably fall".. im not worried about him not ripping it off in front of you, im worried about other people that might fall for it. I would have probably asked nicely, to explain why you think its fake, right at the start.. I have worked a lot with all kind of people from my city, and I can sadly say that most people lie. And with things that could make them earn a easy money a lot more lies will come..
@ appreciate it, I jumped into it, it seems most people are honest in this space so I can’t wait to grow our collection. He just pulled Earthen Vessel from shrouded fable so he was really hype.
The biggest thing especially with Full Arts/Illustration Rares is fakes cannot have the unique texturing the cards have. That’s one of the first things I look for because I got handed a fake Solgaleo & Lunala GX Rainbow Rare from a kid and the first thing I looked for was texturing.
If u buy a fake card from a vendor at one of these card shows, u will most likely be able to get ur money back right?....like as a customer? Should I be one the lookout for fakes from vendors?
He wouldn't have told him to rip it if he wasn't 100% certain it was fake. As soon as he pulled it out of the sleeve even I could tell it was 100% fake with that holo pattern.
That’s wild. Sucks cuz any type of community needs to respect eachother. Especially when it comes to stuff like card games cuz it’s physical stuff to buy, sell, collect and play. People shouldn’t be rude, toxic, cheating, or stealing.
Dude knows its fake and trying to scam? Not going to rip it. Dude doesnt know its fake? You tell him to rip it to find out... Why dafuq would he rip it based off some random seller telling him to destroy a card? Either way.. noone is going to rip a card and it wouldnt seem weird to me because they dont. You just have to size em up and go with your gut on if he was knowingly trying to scam.
In my localized experience, there are two primary reactions to genuinely learning a card in one's collection is fake. Either "(Expletive)... Really?" followed by vocalizations of disappointment visible embarrassment/frustration, followed by profuse millennial apologies" or "(Expletive) no, no no no... No please no. Are you sure? Ohh (expletive) reallyyyyy? C'mon mannnnn (Expletive) ...God...(Expletive)....(Expletive) I'm gonna kill (Person who gave them card) followed by visible anger/indignation, a slamming of the binder shut, and a storming out the door. (A little performative, sometimes. the scammers do this too.) with a third being "Well I don't know anything about the Yugli-ohs and Pokimans, my grandson (angry quote fingers) "yeeted" his iPad through my television after I turned off his SkibiTy Toilet so he's paying for a new set." For my fellow body language and micro expression dunning-kreugerists, slow the footage down as slow as it can go at 1:15 and just watch that cascade of "oh (expletive)" just rain down his face.
With the kid wearing the sixers shirt and some indicators, I think that card show was in Philly off the boulevard at the National Guard place lol. Love the events there! And also, I've been buying and selling collectibles on Ebay since the pandemic and recently decided to sell my entire Pokemon collection and I am talking all WOTC era sealed packs and graded cards even shadowless and first edition and I give all the kudos to you guys. I've sold alot of comics, toys, records, video games in the last 5 years with maybe a handful of problems but in the last 2 weeks I was flooded with scammers, chargebackers, and someone even bought a heavy team rocket pack, claimed it was open before hand and sent back the pack with clearly heavy played cards replaced out. Still made an incredible profit but you really need to stay on your toes buying and selling!!!!
Looks to me like a person who got scammed into buying a fake and doesn’t feel bad about trying to get their money back by scamming someone else into buying that fake
Good on you for giving benefit of the doubt. My son collects Pokémon cards.And I can guarantee you. We both have no idea what a fake one looks like. All that being said, you're probably right, they probably knew
So the only indication is that the Holo is slightly dark? Dude I have plenty of low ink or high black print error cards - slightly dark print honestly doesnt mean much. Pokemon Card quality control is god awful - would you accuse someone of a fake card if it wasnt centered or had print lines?
5:09 "Totally want to give benefit of the doubt BUT..." Its how you know an apology is fake or less sincere, when its followed up by a "however or but... 5:13 "made me feel a little bit weird he didnt rip it! that was the biggest factor! he didnt rip the $140 fake card!" BWAHAHAAHA this gets me every time I hear it... this logic is so hilarious! How can you lack such awareness saying this? Okay just imagine youre in his shoes and he doesnt believe you... WOULD YOU RIP YOUR 140 card?! PROBABLY NOT!? hahahaha. I mean I so wish he pointed to a high end card in your case and said "Rip that and prove to me its real!" omg this logic makes ZERO SENSE! and this is the BIGGEST FACTOR?! thats how we know we are dealing with some smart, critical, open minded folks. Like you show us the whole interaction, we see it wasnt a huge attempt on your part to do more in anyway... You know you could have at least offered $200 if the card ended up being real after ripping it... still doesnt prove the point because if he doesnt know hes still not just gonna rip his freaking card... but it would have at least looked better in your favor than this interaction. "Dude, I know I'm a total stranger to you, but rip your card... trust me bro... its fake" HAHAHAHAHA
I looked at some Pokemon a teenager had from when he was younger off Facebook. Most were fake and he didn't know. I showed him why they were. I asked where he got them and he said he thinks his mom got them on Amazon. He was trying to save up for a car. When I told him, you could see the disappointment. The post came down right after I left. Not everyone knows they have fake cards. Parents don't know what they are buying sometime either.
I think as a rule the vast majority of amateur card traders only have a rough idea about how to spot a fake in their collection and you pointing them out should be perceived as helping them to learn, any behavior after your help would better gauge their intent and/or knowledge about it.
This just shows you are willing to call an innocent person a thief based off of a kids video and opinion. Did he scan it in a machine? No, he looked at it with glasses 🤓 You think this dude can see a fake 😂😂😂😂😂
And get sued for defamation 😂 This dude and the kid had no clue. You guy's are just accusing a stranger when you don't even know. Just talking down on him and smearing his name
This dude works all week to provide for his family then gets a day off spends it with his son on their new hobby, some lame at a booth says his cards fake and tells him to rip it, warwickmilne3149 and all the other trolls say he is a crook with no proof and get the guy and his son banned from events, fired from his job, embarrassed at school and in public... This is why I don't collect Pokemon... 😂
neither the kid or the dad were questioning the fake gengar and they followed up the same with the dragonite, looking neither surprised or frustrated at how they have a fake card. I would've asked if they remembered where they got these cards and after the first fake card I saw I would've never entertained anything else they had.
Everybody reacts differently 😂 It doesn't matter where they bought them from... If they don't know they are fake they don't know... It's funny because to me I see it differently from you all wanting to accuse the mand and point blame. For all you know this kid and his dad could have bought these at a yard sale and are bringing them to specifically get the verified or authenticated. Why does he have to be a scammer just because this one guy says it's fake? Is he not allowed to get a second or third opinion? Or return it for a refund instead of ripping it and wasting money
The card world in general is chock full of ignorance and deception. A bad combination. So many fake cards and not enough knowledge about it or control of it.
He looks like he knows they’re fake. I’d be so surprised and pissed if I had a fake. Like who traded that to me? Who scammed me? Where did I buy it? For real you think it’s fake? Not this guy. He was too casual.
100% they knew it was fake........you could see it in their eyes and face with their reactions. Hate when scammers do crap like this. They aren't very smart thinking they would fool vendors at a card show.
I got scammed out of $550 on a few skyridge holos. Bought at night and had never seen them in person before so didn’t realize how obviously fake they were. I knew they were fake but couldn’t bring myself to rip them until just recently, a year later.
The mouth is all it takes, if you noticed something..when you agreed to or be open to "trade" he was all for it, but then his shoulders lowered very slightly when he realized he wouldn't be able to do anything. As well as how hard he was staring you down for saying that, the other give away is I'm assuming that's his son, can't look you in the eye for longer than half a second, dead giveaway. Anyone that's innocent (In my experience) while disappointed, would 100% ask you to look at the other cards so they don't get lied to again, they didn't just wanted to try to make a deal. Also a huge thing when it comes to hearing it's a fake card, only someone who knows it's fake wouldn't rip the card to test it. Honestly they knew 100% the Son had Guilt all over his face, and the dad looked like he was ready to absolutely deck you for seeing through his lies.
Next Time Get The Person To Agree On A Price Then Have Them Rip It If Its Real You Pay Them & if its fake we got rid of some trsh that shouldnt be around ... win win & thats also good content ! ALSO He knew 100% it was fake 😅
Thats why the only way to trade is with slabs. Because then their authenticated. That's a dad who has no idea what the gell a pokemon is abd us there for his son
Ur so RIGHT. An up then down head NOD is often an involuntary movement that Peeps do when they are answearing a question but Lieing. Eg Like u said (Did u know this was fake)? and he nods his head down, then up, saying yes with his body language. But as the Liers Brain catches up to the fact that he's made a mistake in his body language its often quickly corrected by (No) with the accompying left and right shake of the head.
Sry for a stupid question,i dont no anything about trading cards but im a fan on thiefs get caught. But my question is: Shoundt be fair to both parts to clip that card apart so it stop be on a market so no one can be scammed? If they want another opinion they can ask other vendors and if they also say its fake. Ex. They can have a system on this events that if a fake cards appear "scammers" should have the opportunity to ask like 3 other vendors and if the majority says its fake,they then cut the card and destroy it? Sure u can argue the scammers can bride the other vendors but in the long run they also cant explain why they always clear fake cards. Hope you understand my question and sry for my bad English gramma. The point im also making here is that the good thing to do is to destroy the card after the vendors opinions. And no scammers want have the eyes on you for everyone to know you holding on a fake card and continue be on the the event? If this "morale rule" is genuin on all card trade events it will be better and safer for everyone and the consequences is much higher for exposure for this scammers. ❤
Kids are bad liars. You see that he gets very nervous after he looks closer to the dragonite. It feels like they knew (maybe some other seller at the day already told them), they got scammed and now they want to reduce their costs.
Glad you told him how you thought it was fake. I can see why he didn't rip the card. You are young and he would be sooo screwed if he ripped it and it was real. You are right he will probably try to trade or sell it to someone else:(. I am always amazed that no one ever puts a loupe on a card. Perhaps under magnification it would be obvious even to him. Love the content.
5:30 they seem guilty but it’s not weird at all that he didn’t rip it immediately. It’s weird that he went to try and sell it to other people of course. If I bought an expensive card, you said it was fake, then I would need to ask a couple of other people before deciding to destroy it. You are the professional in this scenario, but even pros can be wrong as we all know.
That exact duo tried to sell me the dragonite as well, even offering me 50% market price on the entire binder lol
Yooo! It was nice meeting you too. Looking forward to seeing your perspective. Also thank you for confirming my suspicions. It weirded me out he immediately left for other tables without ripping the fake.
@@DarkTruth1 Nah I came to say the same thing. He's probably guilty if he was offering everything at half market value. But his nod at the beginning could've just been a nod to indicate he understands. As far as not ripping a card, there's no shot I would've ripped a potentially $130 card just because someone says to. Like, if the rip test is negative, would the vender pay for the lost value?

If I pay $140 for a Santa Cruz skateboard 🛹 and some skater was like "bro that's not even a Santa Cruz, watch, bang it sideways on the curb the fakes always split!" I would be like "Dude get away from me and go hit your meth pipe again dog! I just paid $140 this the real deal SON!" 😂

We have a good dancer on our hands here!
@@jiayouchinese 😭
Cute
He didnt start tweaking out He just shimmied for a seconds or 2
Weirdo
When I found out about $150 of my cards were fake I reacted the same way, I listened as the “expert” explained to me how he knows they are fake, but I didn’t get mad, or sad, what good would that do. I just thanked him, went home and ripped one there, sure enough those were fake. One does have to ask, why knowingly bring a fake card to a place where experts are, like a card show. I can see a kid doing that, but someone with wisdom. Anyway, maybe guilty, maybe not.
I see other comments here that definitely point to that particular couple being guilty.
definitely guilty,. no "maybe" here
The kid could be the collector and the dad just drives him and pays... I know when my son was in elementary school I personally didn't know the values of Pokemon cards until my son's bus driver and the school principal called me to apologize and let me know he was trading some older kids on the bus on his way home and the bus driver overheard the kids whispering how my son had better cards then them and if they act like theirs are better they could steal his by "TRADE", she called the police, the principal, me, the kids parents, they had to meet us in the principals office after the bus had just dropped them off and they had to give them all back and apologize before they were both expelled for doing it repeatedly to younger kids. I asked my wife why they didn't and she said each card has a different value so they gave him garbage cards and took all his expensive ones. I said "No more Pokemon at school!" 😂
@@Fang_Face at the same time they could have asked this guy and two other people at the show then went to a different show to double/triple/quadruple check and these guys all post suspicious like this guy now everyone assumes the innocent dad and kid did something wrong when all they want to do is join a community that rejects them 😂
This honestly just looks like a man that was supporting his sons hobby and he’s spent money buying cards online just to find out that they’re fake. I have fallen victim to buying fake cards, even one from a pawnshop where the owner didn’t know much about Pokémon. It was such a hassle, trying to get those cards returned because he wanted to know how I knew they were fake
You’re lucky you got a refund if you did. that’s on you
The problem is his reaction when told the cards were fake... and then he didn't seem to care at all because he already knew.
@@aoh4905 100%
you're being WAY to lenient
@@aoh4905the kids reaction was the tell. He knew it was fake too. You can see the kid admit defeat by his nods
If you told me a card was fake, I wouldn't rip it up without knowing more. No offense, but I don't know you well enough to take your word for it. I would be willing to send it off to PSA for grading. If it comes back as fake, then I would rip it, but I'm not going to act solely based on your statement.
The "dad" is 100% a total scammer. If someone brings you a binder full of cards and every single expensive card they're trying to pawn off on you is fake, you know they're just using the child as a front to lower your guard. If I'd brought these cards and found out they were fake, I wouldn't necessarily have ripped the cards, but they definitely would've gotten the card backing of shame treatment (placed back in the binder with the back side facing up)
The son is part of the scam
He didn’t take my word for it and rip the card when I said so 💀💀💀
Like this guy is the Pokemon god 😂
It's fake because I don't own it!
Even body language experts will tell you, you can't make definitive conclusions without knowing the person's baseline. It could of been surprise
I recently read a book on this. Can’t recall the title, but yeah, body language is 100% worthless. We fool ourselves into thinking we know something because the alternative sucks.
May have been Talking to Strangers by Malcom Gladwell.
*could have
Craziest part about this is that he’s got a kid with him. So sad. Terrible father.
I feel so bad for the son
He didn't know 😂
I don’t think the head nod was a tell sign. But the fact the were unfazed when you told them were fake is a huge tell sign. Their reaction was not surprised
Looks like guy was just unsure. And then found out he over paid.
The dad clearly looks like the kind of one that buys his kids pokemon card packs from a boot sale for a dollar, gets angry the kid is whining they are fake and decides to do it himself. The lad clearly knows they're fake and it's simply not going to work before even going to the desk.
Or the mom bought them so they both think they are real
True father/ son bonding moment right there
while yes, he could be "socially awkward" and was just ready to pull out the "normal human interaction handbook" and started to nod when asked if he knew something, but once realizing what he said switched to shaking. this is usually not the case, especially when grouped with the rest of the body language, notably no eye-contact, thumbing through packs while somewhat listening, etc. i noticed another seller commented about their own experience with these guys, and i personally (im just a dude, not a detective) would say that they knew what they were doing. the unfortunate part about anything in life is that there will always be people like this, especially when money is involved. the best thing you can do is always use resources available to you, whether it be trusted peers or even (TRUSTED) internet sources. as unlikely as it is to go an entire career without falling victim to the likes of these people, its always good to learn from others' (and ofc your own) mistakes and always work towards making yourself and your merchandise as safe as humanly possible. im sorry to you and anyone else who has encountered people like this, i truly hope you know the large majority of the community are very kind and super caring. dont let one bad apple convince you the entire orchard is bad :)
I don’t think they knew I don’t know what is real or fake makes me think that I’ve bought some fake ones without knowing 😢
They 100% did and now they’re trying to move them bc they know they’re fake
I am not a Pokemon collector, but a magic collector. If someone professional pointed out that in my collection there are not just one but two fake cards, if I was genuine, I would ask him for a favour to point out the inconsistencies + if they could identify any more fake cards in my collection. Cause I would be definitely be concerned about loosing the value of the collection.
I agree. They did nothing wrong. They were learning and didn't know if he knew what he was talking about. A lot of people don't realize the guy's at the booths aren't always innocent 😂
They be trying to tell people like this guy and the kid it's fake on video then chasing them down in the parking lot "Aye yo let me get another look real quick! My bad bro! My buddy said I was wrong I can pay full price or trade!" Or they say it's fake then be like "But I'll take it off yours hands for like $20" just because they know it's real and know the kid and dad are new to collecting. It goes both ways so the vendor shouldn't act so innocent 😇
His kind are more shady, that is why they are there to begin with! To sell cards for more and get over on people that don't know any better 😂
But to not know 100% it's a fake and then bash a dad and his kid and also not blur the minors face seems kind crazy to me!
I guess it's okay to blame innocent people and make them look bad and destroy their reputation before they even have one! And show the kid so on Monday at school after Thanksgiving break just got over all the other kids can clown on him for being a fake Pokemon card scammer 😢
Their facial expression is guilty as sin. They knew the cards are fake. They probably got scammed and saw a young vendor thinking they coupd swindle u. U should have ripped both of the cards and stated if they're real, you'd pay for them.
That Dragonite had me for a second as well.
Fake cards have value too! Should have offered him $0.10.
Lmao this dad had no clue, the kid might've known but people like you need to get out of the house, off of the computer and stop playing detective on the internet. If you actually ever had any human interaction you'd know the dad clearly had no idea. He was just nodding along with the kid explaining the difference in holo, etc. not really understanding anything other than him saying it was fake and to "rip it". Dude isn't about to tear what could be a $100 card in half on the say so of a rando in a booth.
@@lollercoaster4 you're an idiot if you think this was the first person who told this dad+kid that the card was fake
@@lollercoaster4 exactly, I wouldn't rip my card because some stranger told me he's the pro 😂
When the kid looks the same age as my son 😂😂😂😂
These people are rude calling the dad a bad father when he is doing and being the exact opposite of bad. He is literally spending time with his son, spending money on him, bonding, sharing a hobby, LEARNING, they look like they are just getting into collecting and don't know everything but want a second opinion.
should ask more questions such as where did they get the cards from to get more gauge of how they answer - for benefit of doubt, could think this way- the kid got scammed from trades at school (often) and the father didnt know too much of hobby and then finding out while maintaining compsure and pride. Then again I wasnt there so maybe you saw more uncomfortable flags.
Not what happened at all his kid is there so he can try to get free cards from vendors then take it from his kid it’s very common for scumbags like this
I agree he didn't do anything wrong.
@@mar4626 the only shady one is you calling him a scumbag with no proof! 😂
I can’t blame a guy for not ripping a $150 card that one vendor said was fake.
He wouldn’t be the first or the last vendor to tell them that- those that have been in the game for any amount of time know what to look for.
So, what was the girl doing flipping back and forth in her binder the whole time? 😅
You're giving them way too much grace. As someone who is not into Pokemon, but plays other TCGs, even I can tell when a Pokemon card is fake. I think most people who collect any kind of trading cards can just pick one of those cards up and know that no billion dollar corporation would produce something so cheap feeling and looking. The cardstock material alone is something you'd never see used by a real trading card manufacturer.
how he would rip the card if he thinks its not a fake?
I tried selling fake Pokemon cards to a dealer one time, unknowingly, of course. My son and I were into buying and collecting Pokemon cards, and he came home one day and had a few rainbow rares he said he traded for some other things. I thought it was strange, because they looked expensive. Even though we had a few cards, I had no idea what Pokemon cards were worth. I had seen a fake Pokemon card before, but it was easy to tell. It was just a sticker over a cheap card. These, seemed legit, at least to my untrained eyes. Long story short, took them to a dealer, and he gave me a dirty look, and asked if that was all I had. I explained that I had other cards, but these were the only ones I thought might be worth something. He then told me they were all fake. I was shocked and embarrassed. I apologized many times, and explained how I got the cards. I explained that I didn't know they made convincing fakes like this. He then showed me the real cards of the fakes ones I had, and they were completely different. The biggest difference, was the texture. Mine, were rainbow, and not textured. Holding the real and fakes ones next to each other, you could easily tell the difference. Lesson learned.
😂😂😂 Imagine he rips it and then it turns out to be real hahahaha
This scares me because i have bought cards off ebay and i don't really know what's fake or not. But I'm not gonna go rip cards to find out I'm wrong, lol
A good way I test is just shine your phones flashlight behind it and if the light goes through it's fake
You shouldn't buy cards. Just buy the official Pokemon packs and open them yourself. So you can be 100 % sure they are not fake cards.
@@MaxNeumann-y6d if the pull rates were better, lol.
You can always look up pictures of real cards. The holo patterns are such good indicators. Fake cards do not have textures. They just shine most of the time. If you buy enough packs and open some real cards you will be able to tell apart the real and fake ones.
I like to buy singles, but definitely go for places like cardmarket or some other places where you can buy them with a trustee system. Hope this helps :D
I feel like the dad and kid bought these from someone else and had no idea they were fake. But today, you never know.
Great video, going to check your other content out too
I couldn't hear your example test very well. How can you tell if a card like that Dragonite V is fake?
I suggested the rip test, but I've recently learned that flashlights should shine through real cards
He absolutely tried to sell that fake Draginite until somebody bit. Same with the fake Gengar. One person’s intuition going off, sure coincidence maybe. But both of you getting spidey sense from that interaction, you should watch out! It’s because years of evolution have honed your ability to sense danger/ predator which translates into “bad vibe feelings” from certain situations, and that’s why. Your intuition is able to sense things that you may not otherwise notice, specifically underhanded dealings like this. And if you listen, especially when BOTH of you feel the same bad vibes way about that person, and in this case, for both of you, your intuition is telling you to beware for a reason. If that dude was truly outraged and had no idea it was fake, he would have ripped that card. We all know it.
I honestly think that guy is clueless and knows nothing about trading cards. Can’t blame him for not ripping a card based off of your word.
Its an irrational fear of mine trying to pay for something with a fake bill I got from the ATM. That money feels unnatural.
where are all these card shows at ? we dont have much of these in canada, any website i can look up to find these and maybe apply as a seller?
In someone's mom's basement next to the Atari, Nintendo 64 and the Wii 😂
The way he acts BEFORE you found out the last one was a fake.. kinda sells him out, he doesnt seem until there really worried about not being able to sell a card. Probably thought "this two young vendors will probably fall".. im not worried about him not ripping it off in front of you, im worried about other people that might fall for it.
I would have probably asked nicely, to explain why you think its fake, right at the start..
I have worked a lot with all kind of people from my city, and I can sadly say that most people lie. And with things that could make them earn a easy money a lot more lies will come..
This scares me getting into collecting with my sons, I’m 42 with 3 kids who love Pokémon and now I don’t want to invest in these cards.
😂 what? Don’t buy off the internet buy in person and look at real graded cards before buying anything.
so you play for fun or money/investment?
it's not that hard to spot a fake card if you learn what to look for, it'll be fine
@ appreciate it, I jumped into it, it seems most people are honest in this space so I can’t wait to grow our collection. He just pulled Earthen Vessel from shrouded fable so he was really hype.
better not do anyhting then because everything is faked haha.
No benefit of the doubt was given ! He knew that you knew it was fake,
If he ripped it snd it was REAL, wiuld you pay for the card?
No, he would say "My bad! That's USUALLY how you tell and it really did seem like a fake! Hey at least you know now!" 😂
The biggest thing especially with Full Arts/Illustration Rares is fakes cannot have the unique texturing the cards have. That’s one of the first things I look for because I got handed a fake Solgaleo & Lunala GX Rainbow Rare from a kid and the first thing I looked for was texturing.
If u buy a fake card from a vendor at one of these card shows, u will most likely be able to get ur money back right?....like as a customer? Should I be one the lookout for fakes from vendors?
imagine he had ripped the card infront of you and it ended up being real would you have paid him for it??
He wouldn't have told him to rip it if he wasn't 100% certain it was fake. As soon as he pulled it out of the sleeve even I could tell it was 100% fake with that holo pattern.
guys defending the scammer. dude had 2 fakes already with a very minimum inspection. imagine if the whole binder got checks out
that scumbag knew that they were fake and tried to dupe someone
He's not a scumbag, he's a father spending time with his son.. Show some respect. Or show some proof 🧾💯
Got some nice stuff from you at the card show! Glad you came out. Sorry about the potential scammers
Glad I could bring something to add to your collection!
Why would he rip it? Did you say you will pay for it if it's not fake after he rip it?
That’s wild. Sucks cuz any type of community needs to respect eachother. Especially when it comes to stuff like card games cuz it’s physical stuff to buy, sell, collect and play. People shouldn’t be rude, toxic, cheating, or stealing.
Dude knows its fake and trying to scam? Not going to rip it. Dude doesnt know its fake? You tell him to rip it to find out... Why dafuq would he rip it based off some random seller telling him to destroy a card? Either way.. noone is going to rip a card and it wouldnt seem weird to me because they dont. You just have to size em up and go with your gut on if he was knowingly trying to scam.
In my localized experience, there are two primary reactions to genuinely learning a card in one's collection is fake.
Either "(Expletive)... Really?" followed by vocalizations of disappointment visible embarrassment/frustration, followed by profuse millennial apologies"
or
"(Expletive) no, no no no... No please no. Are you sure? Ohh (expletive) reallyyyyy? C'mon mannnnn (Expletive) ...God...(Expletive)....(Expletive) I'm gonna kill (Person who gave them card) followed by visible anger/indignation, a slamming of the binder shut, and a storming out the door. (A little performative, sometimes. the scammers do this too.)
with a third being
"Well I don't know anything about the Yugli-ohs and Pokimans, my grandson (angry quote fingers) "yeeted" his iPad through my television after I turned off his SkibiTy Toilet so he's paying for a new set."
For my fellow body language and micro expression dunning-kreugerists, slow the footage down as slow as it can go at 1:15 and just watch that cascade of "oh (expletive)" just rain down his face.
With the kid wearing the sixers shirt and some indicators, I think that card show was in Philly off the boulevard at the National Guard place lol. Love the events there! And also, I've been buying and selling collectibles on Ebay since the pandemic and recently decided to sell my entire Pokemon collection and I am talking all WOTC era sealed packs and graded cards even shadowless and first edition and I give all the kudos to you guys. I've sold alot of comics, toys, records, video games in the last 5 years with maybe a handful of problems but in the last 2 weeks I was flooded with scammers, chargebackers, and someone even bought a heavy team rocket pack, claimed it was open before hand and sent back the pack with clearly heavy played cards replaced out. Still made an incredible profit but you really need to stay on your toes buying and selling!!!!
But why wouldnt you wait to get it verified? I mean there are places that will check it for you right?
You can also do the flashlight test. Put your phone flashlight on the back side of a card. Light should not shine through.
The son and dad were both in on it 100%. Zero reaction, zero cares. Scammers.
Looks to me like a person who got scammed into buying a fake and doesn’t feel bad about trying to get their money back by scamming someone else into buying that fake
Good on you for giving benefit of the doubt. My son collects Pokémon cards.And I can guarantee you. We both have no idea what a fake one looks like. All that being said, you're probably right, they probably knew
Why would he rip it if he still thought it’s real?
Father and son duo are in on it, you can tell when you first mention the gengar is fake the kids eye's tense up and he looks a little shook.
If you told me one of my cards was fake, I would want to know how and to teach me. Him not asking anything, he knows for sure.
So the only indication is that the Holo is slightly dark? Dude I have plenty of low ink or high black print error cards - slightly dark print honestly doesnt mean much. Pokemon Card quality control is god awful - would you accuse someone of a fake card if it wasnt centered or had print lines?
look at the kid that was with him , looked nervous af . they 100% knew lol
5:09 "Totally want to give benefit of the doubt BUT..."
Its how you know an apology is fake or less sincere, when its followed up by a "however or but...
5:13 "made me feel a little bit weird he didnt rip it! that was the biggest factor! he didnt rip the $140 fake card!"
BWAHAHAAHA this gets me every time I hear it... this logic is so hilarious! How can you lack such awareness saying this? Okay just imagine youre in his shoes and he doesnt believe you... WOULD YOU RIP YOUR 140 card?! PROBABLY NOT!? hahahaha. I mean I so wish he pointed to a high end card in your case and said "Rip that and prove to me its real!" omg this logic makes ZERO SENSE! and this is the BIGGEST FACTOR?! thats how we know we are dealing with some smart, critical, open minded folks. Like you show us the whole interaction, we see it wasnt a huge attempt on your part to do more in anyway... You know you could have at least offered $200 if the card ended up being real after ripping it... still doesnt prove the point because if he doesnt know hes still not just gonna rip his freaking card... but it would have at least looked better in your favor than this interaction. "Dude, I know I'm a total stranger to you, but rip your card... trust me bro... its fake" HAHAHAHAHA
I looked at some Pokemon a teenager had from when he was younger off Facebook. Most were fake and he didn't know. I showed him why they were. I asked where he got them and he said he thinks his mom got them on Amazon. He was trying to save up for a car. When I told him, you could see the disappointment. The post came down right after I left. Not everyone knows they have fake cards. Parents don't know what they are buying sometime either.
The only way I'd rip a card is if the cash was on the table and if it was legit the buyer pays me
If i gave you 10 dollars everytime he said "benefit of the doubt", you would be able to buy the real card
I think as a rule the vast majority of amateur card traders only have a rough idea about how to spot a fake in their collection and you pointing them out should be perceived as helping them to learn, any behavior after your help would better gauge their intent and/or knowledge about it.
why is it consider fake?
I think trying to pass fake cards off as real ones should hold the same criminal charge as using counterfeit money.
Instead of hoping the card wasn’t sold to another vendor, why not immediately pass the word to be cautious of a fake card going around?
Its easy to tell its fake, trying to sell fake cards to vendors is super optimistic 😅
Why did i assume the two in the matching shirts are the scammers darn team rocket
Why rip it ?
This just shows thieves come in all shapes and sizes
This just shows you are willing to call an innocent person a thief based off of a kids video and opinion. Did he scan it in a machine? No, he looked at it with glasses 🤓
You think this dude can see a fake 😂😂😂😂😂
100% they knew it was a scam. would be putting their faces up on a board before walking into these places
And get sued for defamation 😂
This dude and the kid had no clue. You guy's are just accusing a stranger when you don't even know. Just talking down on him and smearing his name
This dude works all week to provide for his family then gets a day off spends it with his son on their new hobby, some lame at a booth says his cards fake and tells him to rip it, warwickmilne3149 and all the other trolls say he is a crook with no proof and get the guy and his son banned from events, fired from his job, embarrassed at school and in public...
This is why I don't collect Pokemon... 😂
neither the kid or the dad were questioning the fake gengar and they followed up the same with the dragonite, looking neither surprised or frustrated at how they have a fake card. I would've asked if they remembered where they got these cards and after the first fake card I saw I would've never entertained anything else they had.
Everybody reacts differently 😂
It doesn't matter where they bought them from... If they don't know they are fake they don't know... It's funny because to me I see it differently from you all wanting to accuse the mand and point blame. For all you know this kid and his dad could have bought these at a yard sale and are bringing them to specifically get the verified or authenticated. Why does he have to be a scammer just because this one guy says it's fake? Is he not allowed to get a second or third opinion? Or return it for a refund instead of ripping it and wasting money
The card world in general is chock full of ignorance and deception. A bad combination. So many fake cards and not enough knowledge about it or control of it.
You’re so professional & great at communicating with people!
Thanks so much! 🙏
Clue me in, most of these videos, there is someone filming all these transactions at the same angle. Wouldn't the suspect know what is going on??
Too bad there isn't a way you could quickly and quietly warn other vendors about someone walking around with fake cards
Best way to make him rip it would be to say "if you rip it and it IS real I'll buy it at market price"
Why would they even try or care to sell a fake $1 card. Tells me they likely don't know it's fake
140 dollar card
Being a vendor, you should know your stuff. If a vendor does buy it, they need to learn about how to tell what a fake card looks like.
*Rips $300 Zard to prove a point*
Now you do it.
Usually, people say "How can you tell"? That guy totally knew what he had. Talking about his Gangar reaction.
When you tell them “it’s fake idk if you knew that” you can see the kid slightly nod yes while his dad nodded no
Because the kid knew and the dad don't want accept that he was scammed and he tries to sell it to someone else.
they knew hands in pockets the way they reacted guilty
He looks like he knows they’re fake. I’d be so surprised and pissed if I had a fake. Like who traded that to me? Who scammed me? Where did I buy it? For real you think it’s fake?
Not this guy. He was too casual.
That guy looks like he don't know anything about Pokemon
I feel like the nod was an acknowledgement of you saying it was a fake. Then he shook his head when you asked if he knew
100% they knew it was fake........you could see it in their eyes and face with their reactions. Hate when scammers do crap like this. They aren't very smart thinking they would fool vendors at a card show.
I got scammed out of $550 on a few skyridge holos. Bought at night and had never seen them in person before so didn’t realize how obviously fake they were. I knew they were fake but couldn’t bring myself to rip them until just recently, a year later.
The mouth is all it takes, if you noticed something..when you agreed to or be open to "trade" he was all for it, but then his shoulders lowered very slightly when he realized he wouldn't be able to do anything. As well as how hard he was staring you down for saying that, the other give away is I'm assuming that's his son, can't look you in the eye for longer than half a second, dead giveaway. Anyone that's innocent (In my experience) while disappointed, would 100% ask you to look at the other cards so they don't get lied to again, they didn't just wanted to try to make a deal. Also a huge thing when it comes to hearing it's a fake card, only someone who knows it's fake wouldn't rip the card to test it.
Honestly they knew 100% the Son had Guilt all over his face, and the dad looked like he was ready to absolutely deck you for seeing through his lies.
Next Time Get The Person To Agree On A Price Then Have Them Rip It If Its Real You Pay Them & if its fake we got rid of some trsh that shouldnt be around ... win win & thats also good content ! ALSO He knew 100% it was fake 😅
Thats why the only way to trade is with slabs. Because then their authenticated. That's a dad who has no idea what the gell a pokemon is abd us there for his son
Ur so RIGHT. An up then down head NOD is often an involuntary movement that Peeps do when they are answearing a question but Lieing. Eg Like u said (Did u know this was fake)? and he nods his head down, then up, saying yes with his body language. But as the Liers Brain catches up to the fact that he's made a mistake in his body language its often quickly corrected by (No) with the accompying left and right shake of the head.
Sry for a stupid question,i dont no anything about trading cards but im a fan on thiefs get caught. But my question is: Shoundt be fair to both parts to clip that card apart so it stop be on a market so no one can be scammed? If they want another opinion they can ask other vendors and if they also say its fake. Ex. They can have a system on this events that if a fake cards appear "scammers" should have the opportunity to ask like 3 other vendors and if the majority says its fake,they then cut the card and destroy it? Sure u can argue the scammers can bride the other vendors but in the long run they also cant explain why they always clear fake cards. Hope you understand my question and sry for my bad English gramma. The point im also making here is that the good thing to do is to destroy the card after the vendors opinions. And no scammers want have the eyes on you for everyone to know you holding on a fake card and continue be on the the event? If this "morale rule" is genuin on all card trade events it will be better and safer for everyone and the consequences is much higher for exposure for this scammers. ❤
Kids are bad liars. You see that he gets very nervous after he looks closer to the dragonite. It feels like they knew (maybe some other seller at the day already told them), they got scammed and now they want to reduce their costs.
Give the corrections, but the days of the benefit are over.
Glad you told him how you thought it was fake. I can see why he didn't rip the card. You are young and he would be sooo screwed if he ripped it and it was real. You are right he will probably try to trade or sell it to someone else:(. I am always amazed that no one ever puts a loupe on a card. Perhaps under magnification it would be obvious even to him. Love the content.
They knew exactly what they were doing and selling. Wow!!! I mean if you got had, don't pass it along. That's just horrible.
5:30 they seem guilty but it’s not weird at all that he didn’t rip it immediately. It’s weird that he went to try and sell it to other people of course.
If I bought an expensive card, you said it was fake, then I would need to ask a couple of other people before deciding to destroy it. You are the professional in this scenario, but even pros can be wrong as we all know.
