Spotting a fake golden Pokemon card can be tricky, but there are a few tell-tale signs to look out for. First, check the card's texture and color; authentic golden cards have a unique sheen and color consistency that fakes often can't replicate. The card's weight can also be a giveaway; genuine cards have a specific weight and thickness. Don't forget to examine the card's text and images for any blurriness or misspellings, as these are common in counterfeits. Finally, comparing the card to known genuine cards can help you spot differences in quality and detail.

Just weigh it! Real cards have a certain heft to them that the fakes can't match.

Honestly, if it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Some fakes are getting really good, but they still can't nail the exact shade of gold or the texture. Always buy from a reputable source!
