How to tell if golden Pokemon cards are fake
Golden Pokemon cards are super rare, so if you think you've snagged one, check a few things to make sure it's legit. First, real cards have a consistent and high-quality feel. If it feels too thin or flimsy, red flag! Second, the coloring and details should be crisp; no blurring. Authentic cards have a unique texture, especially the golden ones, so if it’s smooth, be wary. Also, compare it with images from reputable sources online. Lastly, the holographic pattern on a real card is hard to replicate, so if it looks off, you might have a faker.

Honestly, just weigh it. Real cards have a certain heft to them. Fakes usually feel lighter.
Check the edges. Real golden Pokemon cards have this neat gold edging that's super hard for fakers to get right. If the edges look sloppy or the gold looks painted on, it's probably a fake.
