How to Tell an Original Pokemon Card
First off, look at the card closely. Original Pokemon cards have a thin layer of black ink between the cardstock; if you carefully look at the edge of the card, you should see this if it's legit. Another key thing is the card text and coloration. Authentic cards have sharp, clear text and vibrant colors, while fakes often look faded or the text might be blurry. Don't forget to check the holographic foil for any cards that should have it. Real Pokemon cards have a smooth, high-quality holographic pattern, unlike the dull or uneven patterns found on fakes.

Real talk, just check the card's weight. Genuine Pokemon cards have a specific heft to them, thanks to the quality cardstock and ink. Fakes feel flimsy or too thick.
Always compare with a card you know is real. Seriously, nothing beats having a reference. If you're deep in the game, you'll start noticing the subtle differences that make a card stand out as the real deal or a cheap knock-off.
