What do fake Pokemon cards look like?
Fakes? Easy. Look at the border color and card back. If they're even slightly off from what you know a real card looks like, you've got your answer.

Honestly, just smell them. Real Pokemon cards have a distinct smell that fakes just can't replicate. If your card smells like your old basement or chemicals, it's probably a fake.
Fake Pokemon cards often have telltale signs. The colors might look off, like too bright or too dull. The texture's another giveaway; real ones have a certain smoothness and a bit of a sheen, while fakes might feel too glossy or too rough. Then there's the card weight and thickness; fakes often feel lighter or thinner. Lastly, check the spelling and font - mistakes here are dead giveaways!
The holographic pattern on a fake card is usually pretty laughable. Real holo cards have patterns that are clear and beautiful, fakes look like someone threw glitter on them in the dark.
