First off, check the card texture! Real golden Pokemon cards have a distinct, slightly raised texture that you can feel when you run your fingers over it. Also, take a close look at the holographic effect; it should be smooth and high-quality. The edges of genuine cards are also a good giveaway; they're usually clean and even. And don't forget to compare the card with images from a reliable source like the official Pokemon website. If something feels off, it might just be.

Just weigh it, fam. Real cards have a specific heft to them that fakes can't match.

Watch out for the text and font on the card! Official Pokemon cards use a specific font style that's hard for counterfeiters to replicate perfectly. So, if the text looks odd or the alignment's off, you're likely holding a fake.

Once got a golden card that turned out to be a fake because the color was just a bit off. Real golden Pokemon cards have a consistent, rich gold color that doesn't look flat or dull. If the card looks too shiny or cheap, question it.
