The TCG world is growing fast—and sadly, so are counterfeits. Here's how to tell the difference:
🔍 1. Check the back of the card
Real Japanese cards have a deep blue back, tight print quality, and consistent centering.
🔍 2. Feel the texture
Authentic cards are slightly glossy and rigid. Fakes feel flimsy or overly matte.
🔍 3. Holographic details
Japanese holo foil is crisp, layered, and rarely cloudy or smudged.
🔍 4. Look for print codes
Cards from Japan include small print codes near the bottom. These are absent in most fakes.
