Thread on how to diff Official & Fake/Duplicate Photocard

Recently we heard about scammer at both ca/rousell and twitter. For those who want to start collecting pc, be careful when finding your fav pc! Sometimes they buy fake pc and sold them with the same price as kmarket.
1 - Ask for more pic/short closeup vid to seller.

This is important! As a buyer, we need to know how the pc looks like if we're interested to buy them. If they refused to give more pic, that mean they trying to give us excuse.
2 - Colour and Paper Material

Based on pic, you can see the diff between both pc especially the colour itself! They somehow use scanner to scan official pc/stole other ppl pic and print it by using diff types of paper material.

From prev pic too, you can see the fake pc is not too glossy right? Fake pc have rough surface sometimes. Here's the closeup vid!
3 - Cutting Style And dots pc cutting

Official pc have nice cutting for the pc corner rather than fake pc. Sometimes fake pc have sharp corner and don't have dots just like official pc (2nd pic, the one that i put sticker is the dots). Each official pc usually have 4 dots!
4 - Zoom In & Zoom Out

Sometimes, the one who print the fake pc zoom in a little bit to trick buyers to buy fake pc instead of official pc! Do double check the pic with other ppl who have official pc!

5 - Size

If you got pc and feel uneasy about it, try to compared the size of fake pc with official pc.
6 - Dots circle(?)

Try to use camera and snap your pc and zoom in the pic. If your pc have circle dots, means that the pc you got is official pc! Fake pc don't have it since they scanned and the quality of the pic is poor. (Iphone user have very nice shot and can see it clearly)
Not just the glossy official pc, the matte one also have! You can try them!
I think thats all from me~ Other collector also can give other tips to diff fake and official pc 🙆‍♀️ (sorry for poor explanation and pic! 🙏)

Be careful when buying pc! Do ask them first before buy~ Do ask collector pc if you feel uneasy with your pc ^^ Goodnight! ✨
