Man Finds $1M Worth of Yu-Gi-Oh Cards in a Dumpster | Hacker News

Collectors are warning that convincing counterfeit cards are shaking trust in trading card games, especially Lorcana and Pokémon.

A collector reportedly quit Lorcana after spotting fakes, and the market then saw a sharp drop in card prices.

The brief also cites a separate scandal involving fake Pokémon pre-release cards, allegedly traced by printer-pattern analysis.

Together, the examples show how counterfeiting can quickly distort prices and damage confidence in collectible card markets.
