icycatelf, Jul 21: +1 for fake. Only the Advanced generation sets had cards with gold names, but even those weren't embossed like this. Some of the fonts also appear to be off, and "(before your attack)" should be italicized.

Error cards spelling

icycatelf, Jun 25: What you have are counterfeits. Typos are very common on bootleg cards. Very few official cards have typos, all documented here. 231/198 and 281/264 might be real. Secret Rares have a higher count than the base set. Would need photos to confirm.
