Are Plastic Pokemon Cards Fake?
Totally depends on what you mean by 'plastic.' If you're talking those super shiny, hard cards that feel more like a credit card than a traditional card, then yeah, they're not official Pokemon TCG cards. The real deal is usually made from a cardstock and definitely not plastic. That being said, some unofficial cards can be pretty cool collectors' items in their own right!

No, they're not legit. Pokemon cards are cardstock, not plastic. If it feels like your credit card, it's a no-go.
Short answer? Yes, they're fake. Real Pokemon cards aren't made of plastic. But hey, if you love 'em, you do you!
Actually got a plastic Charizard once at a flea market, thought it was the coolest thing ever till I learned real cards are never plastic. Was a bit bummed but it's still a neat keepsake!
