The packs don’t seem tampered with, but between two openings I’ve pulled this and a Blastoise EX. Is this fake?

Some of the images against the desk are under lamp lighting as my room was dark. I’ve tried to include some more in natural lighting. I’m sick to my stomach as someone mentioned in a different thread that it’s fake. As you can see from the images, I paid significant amount of money from a local card shop.
Hi everyone!
I recently started getting interested in Pokémon cards and collecting, so I’m still very new to this and don’t really know what to look out for yet.
I found these Pokémon booster packs in a local store and was wondering if they are actually authentic.
Do these look like genuine Pokémon TCG packs, or are there any signs that they might be fake ?
Also, if they are real, are any of these packs rare or valuable and worth picking up?
Update: I ended up buying all of them for science 😂
The comments were pretty divided — some of you think they’re legit, while others think they’re fake or possibly resealed.
So there’s only one way to find out. I’m going to open them and I’ll post the results here afterwards. Wish me luck!
I haven’t bought this but seen it and have never seen this and can’t find anything when I image search on eBay.
Seller said this card is sun faded. I don't see any red flag but interested in your opinion!
It looks like a lot of rainbow was used in the card but could also be that I just become paranoid because of all the memes... What do you guys think?
(Did'nt get the best light on the picture, so if you can't tell if it's real or not by the picture I want to know how I can check it myself.)
Got this a few years ago, but I don't remember where I got it, and I don't remember if i got it in the same pack series, and at the same place I got a 5500 blaziken (that had all signs of a fake card you can find)
Yep, you guys were right. They were real an resealed
Most of the packs had already been opened and resealed. They even mixed Japanese cards with French cards inside the packs 😂
BUT… I actually got lucky. One of the boxes apparently hadn’t been opened/resealed and seemed to still have the original packs inside.
These are the pulls I got from that one box. Considering I paid 50€ total, I guess the experiment wasn’t a complete failure after all 😂
Thanks to everyone who warned me and helped me figure this out!
For science 🫡
As per the title, I’m looking to purchase a Chinese 30th Anniversary Lugia as that’s my chase & I don’t really care about the language.
But with how pervasive fakes have been (even with the “pokemon” stamp for S-Chinese), I’m rather worried.
Anyone knows how to spot fakes on these & are able to tell me either of these 2 copies (white background vs blue background are 2 different listings) might be real or fake?
I have yet to purchase either of these.
Edit: I’m so sorry, I don’t post much & missed out on the flair but it’s modern.
EDIT: it was real but im pretty sure the packs were resealed
I only doubt because the stamp is like very discreet
Doing a trade on FB marketplace, I’m pretty sure this is real but would like a double check.
Is it yay or nay old vintage childhood card I’m not too sure about if it’s legit or not as this is a set I rarely encounter.
hii! im new into pokemon stuffs but this month i got less commitment to pay and have some extra money, so i bought this and then i tried to find videos n stuffs like how to opens it or the card trick(?) like 3 cards to the back 😅 but i rarely see anyone bought half box ver. so i need some confirmation. thank you 🙏
These two cards are from seperate sellers on ebay. New to collecting so idk if it’s a printing error or if it’s just cus it’s old af, or I straight up got scammed.
