Fake Pokémon cards are unfortunately pretty common, especially if you're buying from less reputable sources like flea markets, some third-party online sellers, or street vendors. The best way to avoid them is by sticking to official retailers or well-known community sellers with good feedback. The quality of fakes can vary, but they often miss the fine details that genuine cards have, like texture and color accuracy. Always inspect the cards closely if you can!

Not as common as you think. If you buy from official stores and trusted online sellers, you're unlikely to encounter fakes. Most of the fakes float around secondary markets or shady online deals. Always check reviews and seller credibility!

Super common! I've gotten a ton of fakes on eBay. It's like a minefield out there! Always check the card's finish and compare it with known genuine ones. A little homework goes a long way.

Fakes are everywhere! My advice? Learn to spot 'em. Weird printing, off colors, and flimsy feel. Once you know, it's like a superpower.
