How to Know if Pokemon Cards Are Fake or Real
Real talk, if the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. I bought what I thought was a rare card for dirt cheap, and surprise, surprise—it was a fake. The colors were all wrong, and the card felt like printer paper. Always buy from reputable sellers or directly from the official Pokemon website.

Spotting fake Pokemon cards is all about the details. Check the card's texture; real cards have a certain smoothness and are not overly glossy. The color saturation is another giveaway—fakes often have colors that are either too dull or too vibrant. Also, take a close look at the border edges and font used; genuine Pokemon cards have clean, crisp printing, and the border lines are even. Lastly, the HP (Hit Points) font on fake cards usually looks off, so compare it with a card you know is real!
Just weigh 'em! Real Pokemon cards have a specific weight, and fakes tend to be lighter or heavier because they use different materials. Not the most technical method, but it's quick.
