Spotting fake Pokemon TCG cards can be an adventure on its own! First, check the card's material; real cards have a unique smooth feel and a bit of a gloss. Fake ones often feel flimsy or overly glossy. Then, look at the card's coloration and artwork. Official cards have vibrant, clear images, so if it looks faded or blurry, it's probably a fake. Don't forget the edges of the card - real ones have a distinct black layer. And if the card seems too good to be true, with a ridiculously low price or a super rare find in a sketchy place, trust your gut - it might just be a counterfeit.

Easiest way? Check the card text. Typos and weird spacing are dead giveaways. Legit Pokemon cards are like essays that got an A in grammar. No mistakes allowed.

Real talk: Got a bunch of fakes once, and the print was all kinds of wrong. The colors were off too. Look closely, and you'll spot 'em. Counterfeits can't match the high-quality print of the real deal.
