As you can see, it’s missing the holographic stamp on the trading card packets that I bought. I got these off Weverse, from Japan. I did have to use a third party to forward the shipping, and I know they unbox your package when they get it before they forward it to the US (to make sure it’s nothing illegal). But I doubt anyone who works in a warehouse would take the effort to switch out kpop cards. In the second photo, the ENCONNECT I did buy from an eBay seller in Korea (so not Weverse) and it’s also missing the stamp on the back. Are all these cards fake?? Or are they real but Japan and Korea are just lacking with the stamps??

I’d say it’s more likely there was an error in manufacture on Weverse’s part, it’s very unlikely for items like these to be fake as it will likely cost more than just buying them, if you haven’t already opened them, you should do so as looking at the actual inclusions will likely solidify if they are real, always remember to record unboxing for safety 🙂
Also as a side note but I’m not really sure if this applicable, a lot of the time Japan specific item won’t have a sticker at all, for example I have the Japan tour dvd boxes and neither of them have stickers unlike the manifesto in Seoul tour dvd
