How Can I Tell if Pokemon Cards Are Fake?
Spotting fake Pokemon cards is kinda like being a detective. First, check the card texture; real cards have a distinct, smooth feel. If it feels too glossy or too rough, it might be a fake. Next, look at the color and artwork. Fakes often have dull or off colors. Also, the font might look weird, like it's not quite right. And don't forget the card border; genuine Pokemon cards have a consistent, clean border. Lastly, real cards have a thin layer of black paper in the middle—if you rip one (which, ouch, but for science?), you'll see it. But maybe just stick to the less destructive checks, haha.

Honestly, just buy from reputable sources. If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Light test is your friend here! Hold the card up to a light. If it's super opaque, it's likely a fake. Real Pokemon cards have a bit of transparency.
