    Found this card in my collection. Almost everything I have is from packs I have opened. Very, very few individual cards have ever been purchased. But this card doesn't make sense. Any input would be appreciated. [PokeCommunity.com] Fake?
     
    Yes, it's fake. Not only is it the wrong artwork for the Vivid Voltage print, but it shouldn't have both the regular and reverse holo effects. The fonts and sizes/alignment are also a bit off, the artist name is misspelled, and the rarity star is a bit bloated compared to the official.

    Thank you for your input. The artwork was like that of a promo card for this set but it didn't have "Vivid Voltage" printed on it like the promo card did. Knowing everything else that you pointed out now, it makes sense. Now I just have to figure out how I'm getting fakes in my collection and how to weed them out. Again, thank you for your input, your depth of knowledge in this area is most impressive.
