How to Spot Fake Japanese Pokemon Cards

Honestly, most fakes are super obvious. But some are getting scarily good. Always buy from a reputable seller if you wanna avoid the hassle.

First off, peep the coloring & printing quality. Real Japanese Pokemon Cards are crisp & vibrant, but fakes? They're often dull or blurry. Then, feel 'em up! Genuine cards have a specific thickness and a slight texture, while fakes might feel too flimsy or too stiff. Don't forget the light test - hold it up to a light; if you see through it, that's a no-go. And check for spelling errors or weird symbols, especially if you're familiar with Japanese. Lastly, legit cards have a smooth, consistent border - fakes often mess this part up!
