The Real stuff
Authentic Pokemon Cards just look better. They're WORTH your money and are much more valued by collectors' and battlers alike. Fake cards are illegal for tournaments, they render your collection WORTHLESS and are poor in quality.
Main differences between FAKES and REAL
Anyway, it'll make do. As you can see from the images above, other than the energy symbols, it is EXTREMELY difficult to tell them apart.
Even when sellers take pictures of BULK listings with HUNDREDS of cards, you'll will be able to tell the difference if you focus on the energy symbols.
REMEMBER! Do not buy, sell or distribute fake cards. It is illegal by law and buyers shouldn't have to be ripped off!

Main differences between FAKES and REAL
- Energy Symbol - A very important difference that can be spotted even in low resolution images!
- The energy symbols in REAL cards: clear, SMALL and lie WITHIN the center of the coloured circle encompassing them.
- Fake cards: have fuzzy, BIG energy symbols that TOUCH or go OUTSIDE the coloured circle which surrounds the energy symbol.
