This video is definitely needed for the pokemon community. Too many people faking cards and not knowing which are genuine or fake. Especially for kids out there that just joined the hobby

The way I used to do it at school was really simple, if you look at the back of a fake card and a real card you can usually see the difference in the colour blue. Of course this doesn't always work (because old cards usually have a different shade) but if you're just comparing modern cards it's a really good way to check it easily

Back in the early 2000's a lot of fake cards also doubled as stickers and would peel off the cardboard lol

My son traded some of his cards for fake cards last summer. A really tough lesson for him. It's amazing to talk to a kid and have to say "Yeah, there are some people who will go out of their way and be dishonest about this." A good lesson for him though. We did the rip test on one that he had vs. a modern (real) V card. As you say, he's armed himself with as much knowledge as possible. Thanks for this great video.

Fakes has always been an issue but they keep getting closer and closer to a real card, spooky times 😅

Great info being pumped out on this channel! Thanks Jake

Those are the most realistic looking fakes I’ve ever seen

I don't need to touch the card. I felt the glossyness by just looking at it.

Love the content as always. I wish you would make a video about the fake "1st edition" stamps as well because some of those are super hard to catch until you have the card in hand.

Thanks Jake, videos like this are very helpful for the community

Unlike the video games, in the TCG space, if it's really shiny: it's usually worthless

Love the content. Nice looking setup. I noticed that the Pokémon center promo that comes with the etb (the one with the stamp) is doing pretty well on TCG player. Around $20. Makes me wonder what the Pikachu promo from the Paldea Evolved etb will be going for. 👀

Quick question for all of those experienced. I picked up the Lucario VStar premium box from a local card shop. The box came with a Brilliant Stars pack. In that pack was a rapid strike style Mustard which I already happen to have. Now here’s my question. Is it fairly normal for cards to have slight variances in shade of color? Everything about the card matches the card I already own. Font. Size. Spacing. Art. The ONLY variance is the shade of color on the bottom of Mustard’s shoe. It’s the same color, just a darker shade of it.

Great video!!!! You’re awesome! I actually bought fake packs once but figured it out once I actually looked at it from picking it up. Then I opened n confirmed it. lol only spent like 5 bucks though but I saved to compare/study the differences!

I just bought a full art Misty's determination. It was textured but the back of the card was WAY too glossy smooth. I've never felt a pokemon card that smooth and I immediately knew it was fake.
