[Questions] Real or not? Holo card vs plain card??

Confused.pokemon

    Hello all

    I'm new to Pokémon Trading Cards and have just purchased a large amount of them.

    I'm slowly going through them and come across some which look the same, but have different borders, for example one is a holo card and one is a plain card type.

    Is the plain card a repro or fake? It's really hard to tell!

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Regards

    Mark

    The only time EXs, GXs, etc. would be non-holo is if they were from one of the World Championship proxy decks, in which case they'd have a silver signature and a different design on the back.

    It actually looks like both of these may be fake though. The white strokes around the text of the holo one shouldn't shine.
