How to recognize a fake Pokémon card

CatalogingDisk·7 months ago

Spotting a fake Pokémon card can be tricky but focus on a few key features. First, check the card texture and weight—fakes often feel flimsier or heavier than genuine cards. Next, inspect the coloring and artwork for any blurriness or off colors that don't match official cards. The font is another giveaway; fakes usually have slight differences in typeface or font size. Lastly, the authentic Pokémon cards have a distinct holographic pattern that's hard to replicate, so if the holographic looks off, it's likely a fake.

Honestly, sometimes you just know. If the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. Bought a 'rare' card for pennies? Congratulations on your shiny piece of cardboard. Real Pokémon cards have a quality feel and look that's hard to miss once you've handled enough of them.
