How to Know if Your Pokemon Card is Fake
Best answer

Easy way to spot a fake: check the coloring and texture. Real cards have a distinct, vibrant color and a smooth finish. Fakes often feel flimsy or have a peeling layer. And don't forget the light test! Hold it up to a light; if it's real, you shouldn't see through it!

If the card is way too glossy or the printing looks like it's bleeding, it's probably a knockoff. Real Pokemon cards are pretty high quality in printing so any blurriness or smudging is a dead giveaway.

Just weigh it lol. Real cards have a specific weight. Fakes often are lighter or heavier cause they don't use the same materials.

Honestly, the best trick is to compare it with a card you know is real. The font, alignment, and even the card's edges can be dead giveaways. If something feels off, it probably is.
