Haha, I probably still have some fake cards laying around somewhere in my huge collection. But they are quite easy to spot really. I've never seen fake cards that actually look like the real deal.
fake cards have soo much hp like my friend showed me an arceus card and it had 90000 hp and im like `Dude its fake' And hes like ` ._. I payed 50$ for that'
Hey Skul, at 13:40, the newer secret rares do indeed have yellow borders, and don't say their gold as an excuse, because gold is a different type of yellow. This has happened from Legendary treasures and on.
+UmbreonFan i have subscribed to your channell because i like umbreon too. he is my fav pokemon and i was kidding about selling fake cards. i only give fake cards to my 4 year old cousin for free.
it didn't take long at all, in my opinion. I think that you were very informational and helped all of us trainers to make sure we are not getting scammed. You showed us in many ways how to figure it out, and I thought you did a great job. Keep up the great work.
Night Same. Even worse was I had to follow suit. Found some at a dollar store a few days ago and I bought a few while being suspicious of them. I've been going through a bunch of sources checking into them to see if they're real. Seems they are as every test I've found verifies them including comparing them to real copies and how they're made found by ripping some of the duplicates I'd gotten up just now. I don't feel too bad though. No one, not even myself can convince me they're not real despite being heavily skeptical on them being real coming in. So now I have no reason not to buy the couple hundred packs they've got there. I'm sure they'll be replaced soon enough. Whoever repackaged them likely kept the best cards for themselves so I'm sure the card variety isn't as high as it could be given the more valuable cards are likely not in them.
I wanna do a experiment and it might sound stupid but I bought 2 fake Pokemon Card packs and I got so many EX it wasn't normal and the EX were kinda ripped and badly cute plus the EX doesn't have the shine and I got a Hollow Zygarde and it was spelled Zygardr XD
well first of all there's also fake packs that give you Pokemon with ridiculous HP second fake packs don't give you energy they just give you fake cards. Tip:to recognize a fake pack whenever you open it it doesn't give you those codes for the online game.
If you looked closely at that last Lapras card, yoou can see that the foil plastic was actually the combination of two sheets of foil, and that it was joined together by the line through the middle which the pattern changes through.
Thanks for explaining the pure differences between these cards!I find this helpful because I used to be very worried if they we're real or not when I bought the packs...Yet I kept them anyways because well.......I can use doubles for drawings or collages or what ever ^_^ Anyways,thanks!
Mashed Potato hell no I only love my real cards I burned my fake cards because they don't look cool or feel cool there just bland not like the real Pokemon cards
Sh** I traded with someone. I traded a REAL Mega EX Mewto for a FAKE Mega Ex Charizard im gonna try trading it with someone else for something good >:)
The alignment of the border on the purloin card is slightly out as well which originals are never like, which wasn't mentioned... I noticed that mainly because I had a fake charizard that was badly aligned and wasn't even a holo either...
I have a few Pokemon cards from a booster pack and booster box I got, and I think the ones with the foil tend to have nifty little patterns on them related to the type. for instance, I have a holo Meowstic, which held to the light, shows a cool little pattern of keys hanging from chains. I also have a Yveltal card with a similar effect on it. Those tend to be slightly shinier than your almost everything common cards.
Actually, there are plain foil on some of the 3rd-4th gen cards, examples: The 4th gen Starter tins promo cards, some Breloom in 3rd gen. There was others, but I can't remember specifically, other than original foil Charizards. Though they didn't go over the whole card.
I have that same fake Zekrom. The back of the card was completely bleached out, I felt like I could rub it off, and it had a dot on the back. Thanks for all the help.
i got a Mega Manectric EX, but it's fake cuz it says in the mega evolution rule "When 1 of your pokemon becomes a mege evolution pokemon, your turn ends." and the font is different
Here is some big red to avoid before buying them. 1. store/seller. 2. price per what is advertised on what you'll be getting. 3. Sellers listing them with super generic terms.
I remember when I was in primary school, kids used to make fake cards by scanning real cards, printing the front and back and gluing it together with a piece of cardboard in the middle. Lot of kids got fooled, including myself. Looking back now it was honestly so obvious because the cards literally fell apart XD Other kids would also start rumors that your card was fake if it didn't have a star on the bottom-right hand corner in the hopes that you'd throw it out.. >.>
Can fake Pokemon cards be from inside of a Pokemon cards and sets of cards you buy from the store like wal-mart and toys r us?and if so where should I NOT get Pokemon and sets
You can tell if it's fake also by the area where it says it's info like weightand that info, it will have like A sort of border. It's not on fake Cards
On the fake Grimer Holo and those other three with the same problem, I noticed the foil was also on the border. The only time I've seen foil on the border is on the Exs.
Did they ever make reverse holo that the pokemon part was also shiny? Ordered cards from Amazon. I tore one up to see and it had the black! Just iffy about these "all over" shiny ones.
I got a VolcanionEX, VenusaurEX, CaterpieEX, StarmieBREAK, Primal GroudonEX, ManectricEX, AltariaEX, AlakazamEX, 2x DarkraiEX, MGyaradosEX, MRayquazaEX, NinetalesBREAK, and a ZygardeEX and I got them in the same type of pack and all of them are not shinny and I can't tell if there fake or not, please tell me if there are or not?
So i have a pokemon card that i found while digging threw some old junk it says its a hoohoo with 470hp, evolves from machop put dark machoke on the basic pokemon on the top of the card. in bottom right it says 163/82. it has the mark over e in pokemon it feels like my real cards but from what i see its a dark machop with a hoothoot picture and it says hoohoo is it a missprint or a fake. PLZ ANSWER ME +SkulShurtugalTCG
So, I had a fake foil-edged card but instead of having real foil on it it was literally a photocopy scan of the card then put on cardboard... I didn't notice until now but you can tell the border has the glimmer of foil without being actual foil, lol.
Thank you so much! I have a cousin who has two halves of Lugia LEGEND and I told him they were fake. Of course he tried to correct me, but then I pulled this video up and he now knew the truth. How could I tell? Top start, the holograph symbols we printed on the card rather than have that cool shine effect. Plus, the back sides of both of them were bleached out and they both felt dry and flimsy.
Sadly when I was looking through my deck of cards and I saw a fake pokémon card that when I actually annualised it I saw it was a definite fake and I was able to easily tear the front off and saw no black parts (that was the best card I had).
If there is two spaces between words does that mean it's fake the others have only 1 space and when it comes to brackets and there is three spaces does that mean my hitmonlee is fake
Now that i watched this video, i was just looking back at my my first collection then FOR MY WHOLE ENTIRE 15 YEARS i thought it was a real card then i tore a small piece of it and it was foil...THANK YOU I LEARNED SOMETHING TODAY YOU SHOULD BE PROUD FAM(and u got a new suv😁😁😁👌👌👌)
I got a way to tell if a card is fake, if it has more hp then it should. once when i just started pokemon I got an original charizard and my friend traded me a white kyurem with 13000 hp when it should have 130, I will never do that again
I like to make fake cards on the computer just for fun, to display and stuff, but I always put the words "fake card" on the bottom, by the retreat cost.
Haha, I probably still have some fake cards laying around somewhere in my huge collection. But they are quite easy to spot really. I've never seen fake cards that actually look like the real deal.
zapdos I have a dragons exalted slaking reverse that has fake card print its a little thicker than usual
my friend has a 300000 krocoddile and it sayed evolves from Eevee and he wanted to trade it for my dragoniteEX full art and I started laughing 😂😂
Brian Griffin 😂
Brian Griffin i didnt no there were any dragonite ex es
😂😂😂

Brian Griffin You never know, maybe it's some type of secret
I got a card that says it infernape but it has a picture of harambe is it fake?
No most likely if it isn't it was a mess up and those are extremely real cards and worth a lot
Lol
lol, this comment isn't real, people
Well then.....
... thats... that makes no sence
I got a fake venipede once and instead of "bug bite" it was "but bite" ! xD
twice as deadly!
Yep and instead of poison powder it is poison point xD

I noticed a Card in my Deck was Fake when I realized it had 14,000 HP
yeeeeeeeeep.

Cards now can only go up to 120
@@trapconnoisseur7393 220 I think maybe more
No now it’s 270.
I have a Pikachu with an attack called Tail Whap
Whap Whap Whap Whap Whap labels out back moonwalk this here is our party
Did it come from legendary treasures and is part of the RC subset? If so then its actually real
But that pikachu is real since it came from an official pack and apparently tail whap isn't a misprinting since whap is an actual word
Kyle Spinks Must of been a special edition then. I checked and all my cards are legit.
The move Tail whap was on a Radiant collection card from legendary tresures
This is so off topic but
Your Fullart Zekrom is beautiful
how do you know which cards are common/uncommon
There's a symbol on the bottom right corner of the card. A black circle is a common; a black square is uncommon/ a star is a rare.
I looked on the bottom left corner of some cards and on one of them i saw a black diamond. What does that mean?
Leo Rael I think that also means uncommon
+Melissa G Oh good to know, thanks

Back then I use to buy Pokemon cards at the 99 cent store for only one dollar in a little box they're all fake after all these years T^T
Rule of thumb: if it's cheap, it's probably fake.
A real booster pack is about $5 X_x
Because of this comment, I checked 3 of my cards that I bought at the store if they were real, and all 3 were real! :D
SkulShurtugalTCG You suck.
***** Same here or MORE! Life is expensive!
fake cards have soo much hp like my friend showed me an arceus card and it had 90000 hp and im like `Dude its fake' And hes like ` ._. I payed 50$ for that'
Hey Skul, at 13:40, the newer secret rares do indeed have yellow borders, and don't say their gold as an excuse, because gold is a different type of yellow. This has happened from Legendary treasures and on.

It hurt watching you ripped the real energy card. I tend to have this weird attachment to my cards even if I don't use them. Lol
Night Same. Even worse was I had to follow suit.

Fernando Flores I'm saying thanks for the tip you earned a new sub also and my friend gave me a fake MRaquazaEX so I need to talk to him
Fake cards also had HP over 9000
Especialy Mega Evololution Ex card is over 280000 HP
xXKEITH DARYLXx some of them :)
xXKEITH DARYLXx because vegeta creates fake pokemon cards thats why the HP of the fake cards are over 9000
If you don't really care about collecting the cards, does it really matter if it's fake or not if I just want to play with them
no
xCrazy_Cookiex good to know. I just wanna battle friends :)
well first of all there's also fake packs that give you Pokemon with ridiculous HP second fake packs don't give you energy they just give you fake cards.
Tip:to recognize a fake pack whenever you open it it doesn't give you those codes for the online game.
Fake cards aren't tournament legal
i have a MEGA-Charizard EX
Sub to harry the sloth
No
Me too
I have a Gamerupt EX, 50x damage
why do most EX cards have 180HP
I made a fake card and it is none of these... am I good?
RedBear56
how u make them?
NOPE!!!! IT'S A FAKE CARD, SO YOU MADE A FAKE CARD SO U A BAD PERSON (Unless your just made it for yourself)
Unless you make it for yourself, you're fine. If it's for selling or trading with people who don't know the difference, than no.
If you looked closely at that last Lapras card, yoou can see that the foil plastic was actually the combination of two sheets of foil, and that it was joined together by the line through the middle which the pattern changes through.
im sad i got a fake raichu EX
it's ok!
no its just old
lol thats sad XD
Derp Dog no he doesn't know what he's talking about
im sorry
"Usually their nice and tight." XD

Honestly it doesn't matter if the cards are fake all that matters is if the cards have the correct stats
Ultimate Scyther then what's stopping me from getting a piece of paper and drawing a Pokemon card with correct stats and moves
nothing
NO ITS NOT

I had a M Carizard EX and it was fake...

Don't feel bad. I had 2 fake EXs before... and those were the only EXs I've ever got.
feel bad for u guiz...
Right in the childhood
Pixel Mudkip my friend had 2 fake entai ex cards your not alone
Cool your have bad luck
I'm not sure if my Phanpy card is fake, but it has a typo. One part of the card says "Phanpy" and a move description says "PhanPHY".
you say you know alot about pokemon but you dont even know how to pronounce it
+LOZ destroyer All of my pronunciations are correct.
You call it poke-ee-mon when its pronounced poke-ay-mon
We actually don't really know how to pronounce the word. You may watch the anime and all, but that doesn't mean it's correct
+LOZ destroyer LOZ is right, the é in the middle is pronounced as an a, just like in fiancé and other words with the 'é' letter

thank you now i now that my mega blastoise was FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:(

Lol, mine is real (not trying to brag)

why would you ever trade a mewtwo for a charizard mega evolved or not

Just... Why?!?! Don't you want your card back???
Thx to this video I ripped all my real cards so ;(
Your fault, I doubt that your cards were real if you saw the things that were on this video's fake cards, on your "real" cards.

Can you help me figure out if this mew card ive got is fake? Its driving me crazy not knowing
If you look in the top and if it's a fake you see cardboard
some of the full arts now have yellow borders such as the 20th aniversery full art promos and the Hoopa EX box and Pikachu EX box promo full arts
Why is everyone keep saying it's fake it's okay if it's fake card it's just a card so it's okay with just fake you can still collect them
Here is some big red to avoid before buying them.
1. store/seller.
2. price per what is advertised on what you'll be getting.
3. Sellers listing them with super generic terms.
wow, that helped me out a LOT.Mostly with the hallow effect at the end of the video! Thanks!
It's really hard to tell if it's fake if it's old because the color will start to faint whatever it's called and it's almost impossible to tell
1:53 to skip the channel updates
I remember when I was in primary school, kids used to make fake cards by scanning real cards, printing the front and back and gluing it together with a piece of cardboard in the middle. Lot of kids got fooled, including myself. Looking back now it was honestly so obvious because the cards literally fell apart XD

Even when i saw this 2 years ago, I still didn't care if it was fake or not, just wanted to play pokemon with my friends
12:20 You can see the Pokemon has like a white outline. Like a cut-out or something.
Fake pokemon cards always have that odd obvious look and feel, usually fake cards are always pushed outwards..
Can fake Pokemon cards be from inside of a Pokemon cards and sets of cards you buy from the store like wal-mart and toys r us?and if so where should I NOT get Pokemon and sets
You can tell if it's fake also by the area where it says it's info like weightand that info, it will have like
A sort of border. It's not on fake

On the fake Grimer Holo and those other three with the same problem, I noticed the foil was also on the border. The only time I've seen foil on the border is on the Exs.
Not three I meant two. Why did I say three?
SOMEBODY GIVES YOU A POKEMON CARD? RIP IT IN HALF!
What if you have a card where the side of the card with the pokèball on it is purple instead of blue? Is that a fake card?
Yea that happens to me so if it's any other color it's fake
yes
How come all these cards have the HP rendered as "HP [number]".
I thought the "HP" came after the number?
Or did they change it at some point?
i think that black dot part is not true because i have a fake PURRLION card with 6000 HP and i don't see a black dot on the pokeball.
I love how keep us alone with zippi
Thanks for telling me! I'm actually wanting a bunch of Pokemon cards for Christmas and this will help my family to check if the cards are scams
Did they ever make reverse holo that the pokemon part was also shiny? Ordered cards from Amazon. I tore one up to see and it had the black! Just iffy about these "all over" shiny ones.
I got a VolcanionEX, VenusaurEX, CaterpieEX, StarmieBREAK, Primal GroudonEX, ManectricEX, AltariaEX, AlakazamEX, 2x DarkraiEX, MGyaradosEX, MRayquazaEX, NinetalesBREAK, and a ZygardeEX and I got them in the same type of pack and all of them are not shinny and I can't tell if there fake or not, please tell me if there are or not?
As a child, I didn't really care if I get real or fake cards, now all my cards are mixed up and I can't tell the difference😂😂😂

Hey one second my legendery only has small eys😊 so does that mean its not fake?????
So, I had a fake foil-edged card but instead of having real foil on it it was literally a photocopy scan of the card then put on cardboard... I didn't notice until now but you can tell the border has the glimmer of foil without being actual foil, lol.

I have two sets of dual card legend cards but I don't know if the same standards apply to them
in the end if you look at the lapras card the in the middle of the picture there is a line that divides the picture
If the holographic stuff is all over an EX card, is it fake?
Wow thanks this was really interesting and informational. Great video!!!
Sadly when I was looking through my deck of cards and I saw a fake pokémon card that when I actually annualised it I saw it was a definite fake and I was able to easily tear the front off and saw no black parts (that was the best card I had).
I had a fake bouffalant with a 2016 copyright even though it was primal clash(2015) and a weird fireworks holo pattern
This is where someone users your video to make better fake cards
What if my cards are just old and are bleached out on the corners dose that mean that it's fake?
bought a booster pack at wal mart once back when base set was stll around . and it had a upside down back in the pack i got from wal mart
Where do you order your booster boxes from i been thinking about getting one
I have a mega blastoice how can I tell if it's fake there's little black dots on the back but it looks pretty real
If there is two spaces between words does that mean it's fake the others have only 1 space and when it comes to brackets and there is three spaces does that mean my hitmonlee is fake

It also works if you look at the back and if it's shinier then normal ones.
I got a way to tell if a card is fake, if it has more hp then it should. once when i just started pokemon I got an original charizard and my friend traded me a white kyurem with 13000 hp when it should have 130, I will never do that again
