I have been having a lot of good luck on eBay recently winning large lots of pokemon cards and for the most part, i've found very few fakes among the genuines.
This last lot I bought (Well 6 lots rolled into one actually) has been a complete disaster! They came in the post today and I was so excited but it soon faded when I opened the box...
The lots consisted supposedly of 4 sets of 10 Rare, holo, EX cards, a tin with 200sih cards including rares etc. and a folder with approx 300 cards with rares....
The cards are all there in number, just a shame most of them are fake xD
I just wanted some help on identifying the fakes from the reals. Some of them are obvious and some of them not so much. I have to say, the fakes are getting better, unfortunately!
The things I know to look out for are:
- No accent over the 'e' in Pokemon
- Energy symbols (size, colour, position)
- Fonts
- Back of the card (colour, line round the edge, patterns in the background)
- Thickness of the card
Are there any more signs? I'm a bit paranoid because there are so many fakes that maybe some of the ones I think are real aren't....Is there a good site that someone can recommend that has full colour pictures of everycard and what they should look like?
Thanks for any help you can give me!
