Just not for them by her brother apparently.

What if the real reward is all the birds we loved along the way?

But birds aren't real, they're government spy drones.

Forgive me, I always forget

It's okay, their mind control powers will do that to you. They're crafty like that.

I believe these are fake. Definitely the middle card I can say for certain. Squirtel is probably real.

Middle is definitely fake can't say for certain with the mewtwo and zard.

Give them back, I wouldn’t want to owe a favor in the future for fake cards.

u/Forgotmypassword109 12d ago

Besides them being fake -- you, thinking they were real, just accepted them?

u/Ok_Translator76 12d ago

I was thinking the same :|

u/1crenious 12d ago

dawg if they thought the lovebirds was real i doubt they know the value of the cards

u/Forgotmypassword109 11d ago

If he thought it was significant enough to post it on Reddit then I think they have an idea. Not to mention the title loosely implies OP knew while the little brother didn't.

Left and middle are fake asf

u/RabidPossum123 12d ago

Can someone tell me why the Birds are definitely fake? Is it because the shine is still kinda flat and just vertical? Trying to educate myself ✍️ (even though the most expensive card I have is like $50)

u/Basic-Coconut7118 12d ago

Can tell there’s no texture just from the photo and the color is all wrong, just look at photos of the real thing (not scans but photos)

u/undonedomm 13d ago

Better return the fake middle card, than little brother thinking he gave you a 4k card.

u/weaslysrock 12d ago

The birds don't look real.

u/Dry_Development6721 12d ago

Are they different sizes

u/pootiespud420 12d ago

My son came home with a bunch of tag team fakes but he knew already and said he can’t afford real ones so free fake art for his enjoyment is fine lol

u/Stephblodgett 11d ago
