A family friend gifted these to my first grade son. Are they real?
EDIT: The family friend is in his 20s and told my kid: “I hope these bring you as much joy as they brought me when I was little.” So this isn’t a case of 1st graders swapping cards at school. We are fortunate to have some fantastic friends.
These and many others (most cards were heavily worn or damaged) were in a ratty torn up binder. Our friend kept his “good binder and cards” for nostalgia and I have no idea which ones are in the good binder. I got my kid a vaultx binder based on what I read online for recommendations and these rigid sleeves in the picture (penny sleeved first) for these 3 cards in particular just incase they were real.
The Gengar has a slight crease in the 2nd to left tooth and the back of the Pikachu card has quite a few marks on the back so this isn’t the 1k treasure trove that some people are worried about. I’m just excited for my kid to have neat looking, and based on what I’m seeing here, real pokemon cards to start his collection with. I will be keeping these in the rigid sleeves for him.
