What do the backs of fake Pokémon cards look like?

Oh boy, spotting a fake Pokémon card can be like playing detective, but here's the scoop: The back of a legit Pokémon card has a deep, rich blue color with a certain gloss to it. Fake ones? They usually miss the mark with colors that are off - think too light or too dark, and they often lack the proper gloss. The design might be slightly blurry or the edges of the card might feel different. If it looks like it's been printed by your home printer, you're probably holding a fake.

Just look for anything that seems off. Real Pokémon cards are pretty consistent - the color, the feel, everything. Fakes? Not so much. If the back of the card feels cheap or looks like the color's been washed out, you've probably got a fake on your hands.

Fake cards? Color's all wrong. Too dull or too bright. Real ones just look better, trust me.

The easiest way is the color and texture. Real cards have a consistent and vibrant blue with a smooth finish. Fakes often mess this up, looking faded or overly glossy.
