oh dear
luckily i read the comments

upon scrutiny one can actually see the cards are fake from the photos
ex cards have a very detailed holographic outline (note: dazzle and bazinga sparkles) while those in the pics are limited to a sheen/gloss

and on normal non holo cards, they do not emit gloss/sheen like properties on the card surface, fake cars tend to have a sort of varnish over them

this might be too late
feel sorry for those scammed
