How to tell a real Pokemon card from a fake
Easy peasy! Check the card texture and weight. Real cards have a unique smoothness and are a bit heavier. The color precision is top-notch on real ones, so if the colors look off, it's a red flag. And don't forget the light test; shine a light through the card. If it's somewhat transparent, it's likely a fake because real Pokemon cards have a layer that blocks light.

Just look at the border and card back. Real Pokemon cards have a consistent dark blue border and a clean, crisp pattern on the back. If the border is too light or the pattern looks smudgy, you've probably got a fake.
Honestly, some fakes are so good, you need a magnifying glass. Look for typos or font differences. Real cards don鈥檛 have spelling mistakes and the text font is always the same. If something looks off, trust your gut.
Fakes? In my collection? More likely than you think. Held a fake once; felt like holding a supermarket receipt. If it feels too flimsy or too stiff, it's probably not the real deal.
