What kind of paper are Pokemon cards made of?
Pokemon cards are printed on a specific type of paper known as 'blue core paper.' This material is chosen for its durability and the quality it lends to the vibrant colors of the card art. Blue core paper is a common choice for trading cards, providing that perfect balance between stiffness and flexibility to withstand the test of time and many, many games.

It's basically cardboard, not just any regular paper. The blue core paper they use is why they feel so nice and sturdy. Ever notice how they kinda snap when you bend them? That's the blue core doing its magic. Plus, it keeps the colors looking sharp and not bleeding through.
Actually, they're not made from paper; it's a type of cardstock with a blue core. This helps with the card's longevity and keeps the artwork from fading too fast.
