modern Charizard on facebook

Was looking to pick up the mega Charizard from PF and I found a seller on Facebook. He sent me this video but it looks a little off to me but I've never seen or held this card in person before. What do you guys think?

Let's make this sub better, recommend these updates to the rules:

15 Upvotes
  1. No just guessing. You can back up your opinion but don't just comment to comment.
  2. If you state "Fake" you need to list all reasons why so it educates and helps others see why.
  3. Stop posting the "memes" a lot of cards have the rainbow holo but it's not prominent it's not a determining fake factor. it's been spamming a lot of posts and is less than helpful.
  4. Discussion and debating is good. No one is a perfect authenticator and mistakes happen, but stray from name calling, bullying and negative responses. If you are proven wrong let go of your ego and edit your comment to help OP.
  5. Above goes for when people post "obvious" fakes. People join the hobby everyday. Some are collecting new and older cards for the first time. What may seem obvious to you is not obvious for others.
  6. More titles given for frequent commenters so posters know there's credibility behind a comment.

At the end of the day this sub exists to help educate and provide information on Pokemon cards. Fakes are getting better everyday, so let's ensure we can provide more information and get things right the first time.

Are my Gem Pack 3 cards fake?

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

Ordered a gem pack 3 off ebay that had good reviews. Wrapping seemed legit: not too tight, aligned correctly, and the pokeballs passed the tape test. The cards themselves seem legit too: embossed pokemon logo feels right, holo looks right.

Problem is, no "garunteed" 3-star card. Got suspicious when that happened. Looked at all the cards and realized i got exactly 3 of the same Darkharai, Absol, Lycanroc, and Bannett ex's. Only a single Cleffable and Annihilape. Two others were the stamped Mismagius.

Is this just a possibility of no 3-star card or are my cards fake?

I notices that the lettering on this Zapdos is thicker than the other 1st Edition shadowless I own. Is this normal variation in the stamp?

I am torn on if this is real or not. It fails the flashlight test but people have told me that’s unreliable especially for Japanese and Chinese cards.
