How to Tell How Old Your Pokémon Card Is
Gotta check 'em all, but if the copyright date's not cutting it for you, try comparing your card to a database or a catalog online. Websites like Bulbapedia or the official Pokémon TCG website have exhaustive lists that can help you match your card's details (artwork, expansion symbol, etc.) to its release date.

Flip that card over! The easiest way to tell how old your Pokémon card is would be to check the bottom of the card. Look for a small print that usually includes the copyright year. This is typically the release year of the card or the set it belongs to.
If it looks like it survived a battle IRL, it's probably old. But seriously, older cards tend to have a different card texture and coloration compared to the new ones. Not a precise science, but it's a hint!
