How can you tell if your Pokemon cards are fake?
If you're really into it, grab a magnifying glass and look at the printing dots on the card. Real Pokemon cards have a pattern of colored dots when you look closely, while fakes might just be a smudge of colors. And always, always check the spelling and font used – any typos or weird fonts are a dead giveaway!

My brother bought a bunch of cards that turned out to be fake. The holographic layer was just... off. Real holographic cards change colors and patterns in a distinct way. The fakes just kinda sparkle without much depth.
Honestly, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Super rare cards being sold for peanuts? Fake alerts all over that.
The easiest way to spot a fake Pokemon card is by checking the card's texture and color. Original cards have a distinct, smooth feel and the colors are vibrant but not overly bright. Fakes often feel flimsy or have a glossy, sticky texture. Also, the print quality on fake cards can be poor with blurry text or images. Another giveaway is the card's border - genuine cards have a consistent, thin black border that fakes often mess up.
Just weigh 'em! Real cards have a specific weight to them that fakes can't mimic exactly. Not the most practical advice but it works if you're desperate.
