Can You Shine Light Through a Pokemon Card?
Absolutely, you can shine light through most Pokemon cards, especially the newer ones! The light test is a neat trick to check for card authenticity. Real cards have a bit of a unique, consistent pattern when you shine a light through them, unlike counterfeits which usually block the light completely or let it pass through unevenly. Remember to use a gentle, not too intense light source to avoid damaging the card.

Yep, did the light test on my latest haul. It's cool seeing the patterns when the light hits just right. Feels like I'm discovering a secret code in my Pokemon cards.
Nah, not really. Most cards are too thick for light to pass through in any meaningful way. If you're trying to do the light test for authenticity, there are better ways to verify your cards.
