Just weigh them! Real Pokemon cards have a specific weight that fakes often can't match. So if you got a scale, use it.

The border color is a giveaway. Fake cards often have darker or inconsistent border colors compared to real ones. Check this if nothing else.

To spot fake Pokemon cards, start by checking the card's texture and color. Real cards have a distinct smooth feel and vibrant colors. Look at the card under a light; a holographic card should have a uniform shine. The print quality on genuine cards is always high, so if you see any blurring or misalignment in the text or artwork, it's a red flag. Also, check the card's thickness and the font used for the card number and description. Lastly, compare it with a card known to be real, which can help identify any discrepancies.
