How do you know if Pokemon cards are fake?
Easiest way? Compare it with a card you know is real. Most of the time, fake cards just feel cheaper, lighter, and the printing quality is way off. If the card feels too glossy or too flimsy, it’s probably not the real deal.

Spotting fake Pokemon cards can be an art! Check the card texture first: real cards have a unique texture, especially the rare ones. The coloring can be a giveaway too; fakes often have dull or off colors. Don’t forget to look at the borders — real cards have clean, even borders. Lastly, the font is a big clue. If it looks weird or different from your other cards, you might have a fake on your hands.
Just weigh them! Real Pokemon cards have a specific weight to them. Fakes often weigh less cuz they're made with cheaper materials.
Honestly, who cares if they're fake as long as you're having fun? Not everyone can afford the real deal.
