Spotting a fake Pokemon card can be tricky, but there are a few telltale signs. First, check the card's texture; real cards have a distinct, smooth finish, while fakes often feel cheap or glossy. The coloration can be off too, with fakes showing either too bright or too dull colors compared to genuine cards. Don't forget to look at the card's border; real Pokemon cards have consistent, clean borders. Lastly, the font used for text on fake cards can sometimes give them away – it might be the wrong size or style.

Honestly, just weigh them! Real Pokemon cards have a specific weight to them, and fakes tend to either be too light or too heavy. It's not a 100% foolproof method, but it's a quick and easy check if you don't have a genuine card on hand for comparison.

Real talk: if the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. Fake cards are everywhere, especially in those too-good-to-be-true deals online. Always buy from reputable sellers or official stores.
