Temu Trading Cards?

I just saw something on Temu, which I hardly ever look at:

ARE THESE REAL or COUNTERFEIT?

    Its sort of disturbing, but there are some pretty authentic looking coins on Temu as well, which are ridiculously cheap. Counterfeiting is on the rise. I figure Baseball Cards are a lot easier to counterfeit

    I would stay away. Best case scenario if the cards are real, you have a 1 in 598 chance of a star card, so you are paying $30 for a common card most likely. Again, best case scenario is if the cards are real. The seller is selling these cards in "slabs" but these cards were never authenticated by a reputable third party grading company (PSA, SGC, Beckett, etc).

    Im sure many will fall for this scam. But after all this is a hobby where many don't seem to care if a card has been trimmed...
