Wow you guys have a keen eye, these look so real to me.
Once you’ve handled and looked at real cards for long enough, fakes will stick out like a sore thumb. When you’re able to physically hold the card, you’ll be able to feel if a card is off. When looking at pictures, font is a huge giveaway. Pokemon cards use a very specific font that is extremely difficult to replicate. Pokebeach holds a monthly fake card contest, where people can either create text based or image based fake cards. (All in good fun, of course.) Even the most seasoned fakers have trouble getting the font exactly right on image based fakes.

The big contrast is the first thing that sticks out to me, if you compare it to the background. Fake cards tend to have over saturation and heavy contrast.
Kinda funny how people keep making fake cards and can’t seem to get the font right.
