How can you tell if a Pokemon card is bootleg?

Oh, spotting a fake Pokemon card is part treasure hunt, part detective work! Here’s the scoop - first off, check the card's material. Real Pokemon cards have a unique, high-quality feel, and bootlegs often feel flimsy or too glossy. Next, take a magnifying glass to the printing. Authentic cards have sharp, clear images and text; fakes often look blurry or pixelated. Pay special attention to the colors; they can be off on fakes. Lastly, every genuine Pokemon card has a faint layer of black ink in the middle—peep at the edge of the card. If it’s missing, you’ve got a phony on your hands!
