How to Spot Fake Pokemon Cards, Especially Those Shiny Scratch-Offs
Spotting a fake shiny scratch-off Pokemon card can be surprisingly fun, like a detective game! Check the card texture first; real ones have a distinct, consistent feel, while fakes might feel flimsier or glossier. The coloring's another giveaway - too dull or too bright are red flags. And don't forget the edges - real Pokemon cards have clean, precise cuts.

Counterfeit cards are getting better, but the font is usually their downfall. If the text looks odd, it's likely a fake.
Just weigh 'em! Real cards have a specific weight due to the quality paper used. Fakes often weigh less.
My friend got duped with a fake shiny once, so now I'm super careful. The easiest check is the hologram; real Pokemon holographic cards have a smooth, high-quality finish. If the card's hologram looks like it's just a sticker slapped on, it's probably fake. Also, check the print quality of the text and images. Fuzzy or smudged? Big no-no.
