How to See if a Pokemon Card is Fake

Okay, so the quickest way to spot a fake Pokemon card first up is the feel of it. Real Pokemon cards have a certain thickness and a smooth, high-quality finish. Fakes often feel flimsy or overly glossy. Next, check the printing quality; legit cards have sharp, clear images and text, while fakes might be blurry or have off-center art. Also, don't forget to give a glance at the card's border color and the font used for the text – both can be dead giveaways if they don't match up with genuine cards. Finally, real Pokemon cards have a unique light blue layer of paper inside – you can see this if you look at the edge of a card. So, if you're in doubt, this little detail can help a lot!

Lol, just hold it up to the light; if it looks like it's made of cheese, it's probably fake.

Real talk, the weight is a dead giveaway. Fake cards feel like you're holding a sticky note. Real ones have that nice, sturdy card stock vibe.
