What are Pokemon cards made of?
Just cardboard, folks. But not your average cereal box cardboard. This is high-quality stuff, probably enchanted with the spirit of Pikachu considering how long some of these cards last.

They're made of hopes and dreams. And probably some kind of paper. But mostly the undying love of fans worldwide.
It's all about the layers! The core is a thick, high-quality paper stock. The front and back are then printed with the design and covered with a thin, protective layer to keep the card looking fresh. Some rare cards add a layer of foil for that shiny effect that drives collectors wild. No plain old paper here; it's like the gourmet sandwich of card materials.
Pokemon cards are primarily made of a special paper that's durable and has a bit of gloss to it. Imagine it like the superhero version of regular paper, designed to withstand the epic battles and trades it will surely face in its lifetime. Some of the fancier cards, like the holos and EX/GX cards, have a layer of foil on them that makes them extra shiny and even more awesome to look at.
