Gonna say, sometimes it's super hard to tell if you're not an expert. But the easiest check? The light test. Hold the card up to a light; if you can see through it, it's a fake. Real Pokemon cards have a layer that blocks light from passing through.

Honestly, who cares if they're fake? If the art looks cool, it's a win in my book!

Spotting a fake Pokemon card can be easier than you think! First off, check the card's texture. Real cards have a unique smooth feel, not too glossy or too matte. Fake cards often miss the mark here. Then, peep the colors. Authentic Pokemon cards have vibrant, consistent colors, while fakes might look washed out or overly bright. The most telling sign? The font! Official Pokemon cards use a specific font, so any deviation in the text style is a dead giveaway. And don't forget the card weight and thickness; real cards have a certain heft to them. Lastly, always compare with a card known to be real. When in doubt, a side-by-side comparison can reveal a lot!

Just weigh 'em! Real cards feel a bit more solid. Fakes often feel flimsy or too stiff.
