Fake Pokémon Cards
Have you ever bought fake Pokémon cards? I have and it's so annoying when you think you just got an amazing card and you suddenly find out it's fake. It drives me crazy and it's illegal. I mean, seriously, shouldn't the Pokémon Company have taken these people to court years ago? Tell us what you think!

I think there’s too many fakes for Pokémon to take them all to court and you have to figure out what’s fake and what’s not on your own. I have personally NEVER been sold a fake on TCGPlayer and I have never heard of someone having been sold a fake on TCGPlayer so you could start buying individuals from there.

I used to own fakes, but I never tried selling them, and now, as a more serious player, I can easily tell the difference between a fake and a real.

When I was little I bought Pokémon cards from small stores. Turns out the entire chest of Pokémon cards I collected as a kid was fake. Which should've been easy to tell but I was a kid, how was I supposed to know.

I was fortunate to have never bought fake cards, my friend on the other hand had hundreds until he let me rip one to reveal the fact that it was a sticker

I bought this pack of cards a long time ago while on vacation in India, and they were ALL EXes. And all of them were fake.

They all had just 8 cards, all EX and all fake. Also, they were in Sun & Moon Cosmic Eclipse packaging.

I used to have this one Braixen card that was so obviously fake like its insane it took me so long to figure it out. I cant remember where I got it, but the picture was all pixelated and the pokeball on the back was upside down, whoever made it glued it on the wrong way lol.

I really think that fake cards can also be found in some countries that don't support Pokémon Trading Card Game.
Unfortunately, my country also have fake cards too!
