- ReportReported for: Lied about the grade
Common cards, including foreign-language commons, presented as "gem 10" in "TGC / Trophy 10 Authentic" slabs from a grader with no public cert lookup or submission process.
Conduct recorded on stream and independently reported publicly by another creator.
- Note
Published the same day it was reported, rather than the usual 3 to 5 days, because the findings were conclusive.
What we checked (5 sources)
- TikTok live auction (@projectoutshine)
Recorded 2026-08-26: over roughly 46 minutes the seller repeatedly presented common Pokemon cards, including Chinese-language commons, in slabs labeled "TGC Certified 10 Authentic" and called them "gem 10" at $1-start prices, without naming the grading company on stream.
- Grading company website (trophygrading.com)
Checked 2026-08-26: the Trophy Grading (TGC) website has no public card-submission process, no cert-number lookup, and no mailing address - only a homepage and a contact form. The slabs carry no recognised third-party grading standing.
- eBay completed sales (130point aggregator)
Checked 2026-08-26: about 67 "Trophy Grading" slabs have completed sale on eBay at roughly $1 to $6 each; 24 carry a "10" label, all dated 2026, after the top label was changed from the "9.5 Gem Mint" used in 2025.
- Independent public report (GhostHustle, @ghosthustletcg)
Observed 2026-08-26: an independent creator publicly documented the same conduct, describing the slabs as "fake with no way to look up the cert" and containing "very cheap bulk cards".
- Seller cross-channel presence (Whatnot, eBay)
Checked 2026-08-26: the same handle operates a Whatnot store and an eBay store. The high Whatnot review score reflects shipping fulfilment and does not speak to grade accuracy.
