Golden Pokemon cards are super cool but also a magnet for fakes. First up, check the card's texture. Real golden cards have a distinct, slightly raised texture you can feel. Next, take a close look at the holographic pattern; it should be crisp and detailed. Colors matter too; they should be vibrant, not dull or smeary. Lastly, real cards have clean, precise edges. If yours looks rough or uneven, you might be holding a fake. Always compare with known real cards for a gut check!

weigh it! real ones have a specific heft to them, fakes often don't feel right in your hand. Trust your instincts, if it seems off, it probably is.

Simple. The text. If the font looks weird or spacing is off, it's a fake. Legit Pokemon cards have perfect text alignment.

Honestly, just go to a legit store or buy directly from the official Pokemon site. Why risk it?
