Spotting fake Pokemon cards is like a mini detective game! First off, check the card's texture. Real Pokemon cards have a distinct, smooth feel, not too glossy or plastic-like. Next, zoom in on the card's artwork and font - any blurriness or spelling mistakes is a big red flag. Genuine cards have sharp, clear printing. Then, peek at the card's edges; real ones have a thin layer of black between the front and back. Lastly, the real deal always has accurate coloration, so if the colors seem off, you might have a faker on your hands.

Real talk, some fakes are so good nowadays that it's tough to tell at first glance. If you're ever in doubt, compare your card with images from a reliable source or ask an experienced collector. But truthfully, if the price seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Honestly, just weigh the cards. Real Pokemon cards have a specific weight to them, and fakes often feel lighter or flimsier. Not the most scientific method, but it's quick and easy!
