How to identify fake gold Pokemon cards
Spotting a fake gold Pokemon card can be trickier than finding a shiny Pokemon! First up, check the card's texture. Real gold Pokemon cards have a distinct, high-quality metallic sheen and a bit of a texture to them. If it feels too smooth or the shine looks off, it might be a fake. Then, look at the details on the card. Misprints and color discrepancies are common in fakes. The text should be crisp and not blurry, and the colors should match those of genuine cards. Lastly, the weight can be a giveaway; real gold cards have a certain heft to them.

Real talk, I bought a 'gold' Pokemon card off a sketchy online marketplace once, and it turned out to be fake. The biggest giveaway? The card had a flimsy feel and the gold color started chipping off after a few days. Real gold cards keep their cool under pressure, so watch out for quality and durability.
Just look at the card's color and weight. If the color looks dull and the card feels too light, it's probably not real. Easy peasy!
