    I find some of the fakes super cool idk why, some can b really well done and probably rarer then the real thing. Sure they’re not worth anything or anything like that but every once in a while I come across someone with a fake card that’s really good, they just intrigue me

    As long as the cards (or anything for that matter) hold value, there are going to be counterfeiters. The best you can do is train yourself to recognise the genuine article and buy or trade only with people and businesses you trust.

    And remember, if a deal seems too good to be true, it usually is.

    When I started collecting Pokemon Cards, all my cards were fake, and i've never noticed until the last year. When I learned how to recognize the original cards, I realized that all my cards were fake! Imagine how disappointed I was…

    My first pokemon cards when I have knon pokemon were the fake golden ones I found them at a place for amazon returns and it was $1 for 65 of them. The first Card that i had was a rowlet from McDanalds but I didnt know of pokemon at that time.
