I’m looking for the best content on recognizing fake Pokemon cards.
I know there are hundreds of articles, but I’m looking for something comprehensive and reliable. Maybe some of you have come across a really good article/video? I mean article or a video that, when watched by a new person in the hobby, will allow you to learn as much as possible.
You mean like a guide to tell if a card is real or fake?
Yes 
Whatever happened to that fake box you bought?
No one confirmed it was fake, lol. Still waiting for emails
Rusty had a good guide to older fakes a while back… Lemme see if I snagged it (was on ebay guides)… Yes. I did download the webpage, but IDK how to share it…
edit: I think that if you give them EVERYTHING, it’s like teaching calculus to babies. BUT Rusty’s guide was always a really nice intro and solid foundation in an article. There’s too much to give them otherwise. I really think whatever you provide to newbies, it also needs to be relevant to what they’re interested in. Whether it’s modern, vintage, etc. Otherwise, Rusty’s is the best place to start.
The problem is that identifying fake cards is hard to teach. Most guides are going to be super simple and surface level.
Example: top google result
This is the level we are talking about. Hopefully you can tell which is fake.
Any deeper than that, like fake sealed product or fake slabs or cards that aren’t trivially easy to tell are fake, are going to require more intuition than anything else. For example, fake slabs virtually always get the font wrong. I could write an article about that, but it’s not useful knowledge until you build that intuition to know from a quick glance that something is off. Certain things like resealed boxes are even harder, arguably impossible to really know for sure just from looking at it. Autographs are similar. So my honest advice is to not worry about it too much. Most stuff is going to be real or very bad fakes. Build up the intuition over time.
Some things are going to have a higher probability of being fake - like poncho pikachus for example. If you need help specifically for one type of card that’s where advice on the details to look at becomes more useful. For example, on those types of cards often the holo pattern is just “printed on” - rather than the card being actually holographic. If you see the stars are showing up in the exact same place regardless of the angle that’s a red flag. But that’s the type of highly-specific advice I’m talking about
The Caterpie Ex is a classic …
