How to tell if a Pokemon card is real

SingingRidge·7 months ago

First, check the card texture. Real Pokemon cards have a distinct, smooth feel, not too glossy or too matte. The color on the back should be a consistent blue, not faded or off-color. Look at the edges of the card; real ones have clean, sharp cuts. Also, the text and illustrations should be high-quality and clear, no blurs or misprints. Finally, the card should have a thin black layer in the middle if you look at it from the side. If it's missing, it's likely a fake.
