Check out the video where I Blend up my FAKE Pokémon Cards》 • Video
Let me just make something clear guys for those who think these cards aren't fake. I forgot to mention this in the video. The Pack I opened these cards from said "BOOTLEG" I just didn't have the pack with me, but I know 100% they are fake!!! Because of the word BOOTLEG!!!
PokeTom your cool
Daniel Benlulu opinion accepted 👍
Daniel Benlulu that is just rude and funny lol
Hey guys please watch fgteev
peace
Great all of my pokemon cards are fake
The Rush Fudge I only have 1 real pokemon
Because you have made them yourself!!
No, do not listen to me, i just kidding. ROFL XD
The Rush Fudge I have a fake mega ex called MGyarados does 120 damage and has 240 hp plus it's Japanese
HAHA
lol R.I.P
Yeah I'm not about to bend my Pokémon cards bro. lol
Same no way uhuh
I wouldn't want to bend them either no way I would cause it ruins them
Bruh I ain’t tryna bend my EX and GX
I’m not about to bend my gx hell nah..
I just bent my raindbow card and it turned out real but it now has rips in it
Not all off center cards are fake. Some cards are rushed or weren't manufactured correctly. I opened real packs of Brilliant Stars and some were off centered a little.
Same goes for miss colored cards. The set Pokemon Evolutions had rushed cards which made them darker than normal. In other words too much ink was added to them. -Younger Bro
thanks for this comment. bought cards online and noticed a few cards of mine were slightly off centre or had borders that were a little darker. got a bit worried that they weren't authentic haha
@Bonky No worries. Just clarifying that not all miss colored cards are fake. The steps I usually take are feel the texture of the card, check for miss spellings (make sure it's not just a printing error), miss named Pokémon (make sure it's not a different language), make sure the pack art & box arts of the thing I'm opening is 100% accurate, checking to see if reverses & holos are more reflective than normal (have a reference from that set to be sure), then the final step: take a light put it under the card to see if there is a ink line. If not, I take an extra card from the same set and rip it. Just to be safe. If there is ink. It's real. If not it's a printed fake. There are, on occasion, cards that are miss colored, that are fake. Best course of action: have the real version of that card on hand. If it's still not enough, rip it to find an ink line. I'm sure there are more methods. We are bound to be fooled by a good fake card manufacturer. Just got to be careful. -Younger Bro
😮 seriously I am seeing this now?I just teared my Charizard in half
@sssshhhiiinnnn I'm sorry, dude. 🥺 -Younger Bro
The off center that does happen with booster cause I seen some miss cut
Thank goodness. I learned a lot I actually have a few fake Pokémon cards and I noticed right away by the color difference on the back. I also noticed how my cards were centered. Thank you so much for telling me more ways to find fake Pokémon cards.
Me when my rarest card has all the signs of being fake: No, No, its just an error card
true
Do you know what to do with them
Bruh do u even go to church kid ._.
Its just a card lol
And don't say mean stuff to me or your not with god
3:42 everything drops at the same speed unless its something like paper thats heavily effected by wind resistance
my only critique is u need to learn some science my dude no matter the weight objects dropped from the same distance at the same time will hit the ground at the exact same time
You is dumb if you drop a bowling ball and a tissue the bowling ball will hit first
@@tyrutenishien7440 without an outside force they would drop the same time.
Banana Fallout0825 , this is the comment I was looking for when I saw this and wanted to see if any one else knew
Exactly the same thing I was thinking when I see this. Because the cards have the same size , so theorically having the same air resistance , the cards should hit the ground at the same time regardless of it's weigth. So this test is biased , probably because the guy already know which card is fake , he feel it more heavier. Feeling is not a valid scientific test.
One thing I noticed is that on some of my fake cards on the back there is a small pink circle, like tiny and they’re usually smaller than real cards
this helped alot (also this is a funny one 1 of my fake cards had VSTAR i was like wait whats vstar i thought it was super rare 1 but it was fake)
3:52 you seriously need to revise your physics
Fr💀💀💀💀💀
Sheeesh
Tried the bend test on my base 1st edition charizard......it was real.
😱 that's a funny joke good one😂
Why the heck would u do that I would only try that one if all the other ones were true
Dead 😂😂
Rip 😂
You dont have to just look at the line if it is fake
Off center thing isn't always true, plenty of real cards are off center, it's hit or miss with printing.
Thank you so much! This video is very informative! As a new Pokémon collector I’ve gotten my fair share of fakes from my friends who didn’t even notice themselves! I almost gave my friend a gold temple of sinnoh for 4 fake cards until my other friend (who is the Pokémon card master of my school) took one look at the cards and told us that they were fake! At the time I had no clue how he figured that out so quickly until now I’ve watched this video! (Also my friends did return any card I gave them for a fake)
That was so fucking close
My friend gave me a rainbow rare that he thought was fake but it’s actually real

Dropping is not a test. Gravity is gravity, no matter how heavy the object is.
can we just take a moment to appreciate that he just bought the bunch of fake pokemon cards and fell for the scamer's trap on purpose to teach us how to not fall for this trap
Take a shot every single time when he says "Pokemon card".

Shoutout to this guy my favorite Pokémon cards are apparently fake 😂💀
The weight of an item does not make it drop faster than a lighter object!
the fourth one is not true. it defies logic. gravity works the same on all objects. if you drop an egg and a watermelon, they will fall at the same rate. you must not have went to school
I mean number four
Dabbing Litten that's what I was thinking
I know this is an old comment but this only applies in vacuums where all air pressure is extracted.
Logic
True dude wow i didnt notice it well thx for notifying
1. Some real cards are VERY off cut (1 isnt allways relyable)
2.New real cards sometimes squeak
Dylan Thompson your wrong because I’m sorting my cards and I found at least 70 of those cut off cards and cards that I got a while ago are really squeak
Thank god bro
This guy apparently never heard of a miscut.
Thanks to u
Not gonna trust who doesn't know how to spell always and reliable
The guy in the alley said the cards were real. I can't wait to sell them to the hobby shop. Disneyworld here I come.
Dude really took 2 exact shaped cards and dropped them as if gravity cares how much one weighs over the other 😂
And you also forgot that the fake Pokémon's have more hp
Some, but others are really edgy and try to look exactly like real cards.
Mine has 160 health and 160 damage and I trade for one that had 150 health and damage
It's true mine had an HP Lv of 15000 i had bought it for ten looked at it n looked at the guy n was like really dude
Not always. I got a fake card today thats nearly 100percent accurate only problem is the look.
One of my friends card had 8000 hp lmaoooooo
When showing us the off centering I noticed that you can wield scissors amazingly! Nice cutting job on back.
3:44 man really didn't go to high school XD
At least one of my cards is real
A frickin Slowking
Rip

Mine is a kingdra ex lol but I’m pretty sure it’s a bit cheap

@@dragonboyfire3817 fake card
@@augustuscaesar5976 oh
Ok
Some other methods:
1. The card has typos on it (yes, this actually happens)
2. The pokemon card looks blurry. Compare it to other cards to see the difference. Pokemon cards are printed with very expensive printers while people who fake cards use cheap printers. The expensive printer will print the card with very sharp image quality while the cheap printer will make the dull image quality.
3. The corners of the card are not perfectly cut. The card cutting process is mechanical so the corners should always be perfectly round. If that is not the case, the card is most likely fake.
Yeh but if there is one typo is it still a fake because my my fav card sadly has just 1 typo..
@@madarauchiha.1023 Just rip it and see
The typo method doesn’t work much
my card has a typo on the pack thanks
I have a meowth and the card says it’s a “vulpix”
If we have rock paper scissors on our card is it fake?
Thanks so much for showing me how to detect a fake pokemon card [I used to get scammed].
Theory wrong on number 3 scientists say that heavy and light objects travel the same speed while falling!
so how about feather? paper? these two things fall more slowly than heavy objects >_>
The feather's got a different shape than the paper, because paper doesn't help birds fly. So when you drop a feather, it twirls around and such because it's curved and catches more air keeping it up.
Um I think thats when there isn't any air resistant
sdgmsdgm Try on the moon.
idiot that only happens when there are no air resistant.
0.0 there's this 1 pokemon card thats all normal until you bend it
im not sure if it's real or fake

Don't spill cinnamon whiskey fireball shots on your pokemon cards hahahhahahahahhaaa 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉
Poketom: bend ur cards to see if ther fake
Me: **hugs cards closer**
I bought an authentic theme deck and a real cheap booster pack. Both from different shops and I can tell the difference almost immediately. What you said was true. The prints, the stickiness, etc.
Also card dimensions. All official Pokémon cards are the same height and width.
Many fakes will be smaller and some
A little larger.
Have a card you know is real and stack the suspect card on top, if the edges don’t line up it’s definitely fake.
Where as off centre cards do happen (just not to the extreme of the ones you showed)
Misprints and miscuts are extremely rare. So resist the temptation to use that as an excuse for suspect cards (unless you pulled it from a pack yourself)
Now I don't mean to be that guy but if you drop a bowling ball and an apple from 100 meters they will hit the ground at the same time. Weight doesn't effect how fast gravity works.
My card isn’t fake! (LeafeonV) Evidence: 1 - Is in the center, including extra detail cutting off the border, 2 - I can’t tell if it’s sticky, it’s in a case… 3 - It’s only heavier because it’s in a case. 4 - Pokéball side isn’t cut off anywhere (My border is black, is that still fake?) 5 - I don’t know if it’s bendy, it’s in a case. (Mention: Lol I said “Case” more than once but it’s in a “case”)
Sorry to do this, but....
1) Off-cuts need to be severe if you wanna use that method. There have been cases where real cards are cut wrong and those cards are worth hundreds.
2) New cards, holos, and reverse cards all squeak. Also if you spill food or drinks on them they get sticky.
3) Air resistance acts the same on both cards (real and fake) and causes no difference in time it takes to fall, though fake cards don't have a designated weight and therefore this method is very inaccurate.
4) This is really just point one again, you simply just added color/hue variations and unless you have the exact hexadecimal color swatch of real cards on hand you can't usually tell.
5) DO NOT BEND YOUR CARDS. Even if you think they are fake. Wanna lose a ton of money that you might have from EX cards, bend them.
This is a horrible tutorial and it should be taken off UA-cam or updated.
Bravo Bunny very well said. There's 1 way that works EVERY single time to check if a card is genuine. WEIGH IT. All pokemon cards from the same series except holos and reverse holos weigh the exact same as each user. Holos will weigh the same as other holos in that series...
*as each other⬆️⬆️🤣🤣
Number 4 is the best,all my cards are real including to the strong but 5,yeah dont bend,what i do is,i just like twitch my fingers,i dont do the wavey hell thing
Exactly lol, so many good ways, he was talking about the weight of the cards and I was expecting him to pull out a scale. Nope he just says it feels heavier
(3:50) you can't denote the weight of an object by making them fall .if the two cards are held exactly at the same spot as the the other and when you let it fall no matter the weight both will hit the ground at the same time. Surface area does matter but in this case it does not
Yes i always just when i tel this to someone they never believe me and its so frustrating
Yeah that's only in vacuum, which isn't the case where most people live.
im glad my kyogre EX, decidueye V-star and ninetales break aren't fake, cuz those my favourite cards i have and i would've been depressed if they would've been fake
Yugioh can be easily detected if it is fake or real but Pokemon takes alot of tests and observations like a money.
PokeTom: "if u can bend it and the appearance of the card does not have much damage than it's fake."
Me, rips the card in half: "few I thought it was fake 🤞."
Testing before buying someone’s card 😂
NOOOOOOOO ALL MY EX ARE FAKE XDDDDD:
I feel bad for you
Eh dont worry I got 100 fake cards ex for only 8 pounds and my friends won't notice

Where was the rip test?
Me when I thought my real pokemon cards were fake
stop bending the real card, it hurt me to see you do that to a real card. Leik if u cri evritim

Learn how to spell
*like
the pokemon king it's a meme leik if u crie everitim
Krakerwat i hated to do number 5 with my rayquaza EX
its funny really in classi learned no matter how heavy something is if they drop at the same hight at the same time they will hit at the same time becuase gravity has anequal effect (unless only one of them is paper b/c than air resistance)
icy paw jamaa sure throw a tennis ball off a cliff THEN DRIVE A FUCKING BUS OFF IT WHICH WILL HIT FIRST!?!?!?!
icy paw jamaa I agree with you.
X X
U
k
me too. But I could be remembering wrong
They will hit the ground at the same time. But of course there is surface area that makes air resistance which makes one of them fall slower. Now if there was no air resistance, they would fall at the same speed no matter how much matter is in an object.
A question.can we spot pokemon fake pack or real pack because you know after buying it no use if its fake
thanks for helping me know if cards are fake I got away from a few fake card trades!!!
That drop test was useless. Everything no matter the mass hits the ground at the same time. The only way somethin won’t is if one of em floats
Ikr thats what i thought
thats when there is no air resistance or gravitational force
Actually you would think that due to Newtonian mechanics. I remember learning about that in grade 9.
But.. if the fake card is heavier while being thinner at the same time, it would therefore have a higher density (needs to be tested). If it has a higher density it will have less wind resistance on its fall (Galileo discovered that). But the test probably would have to be done in such a way that the cards can reach their terminal velocity. I have a feeling a short drop they would still land at the same time due to not reaching their terminal velocity.
It would be an interesting experiment to do with Pokemon cards though. I could do it... but then i'd have to like touch a fake card lol.
@@megashadow3789 smart man
Every thing falls at the same time according to science
Ps I'm 12 and I know that
im 10
I'm sorry but dropping them is not a legit test at all, everything drops at the same rate, gravity doesn't make things fall faster depending on weight
True
Just got told my parents got me ages ago fake Pokémon cards for my birthday now idk what ones are real lol
Another thing: Cards from big chain stores will never be fake, don't worry. That includes target, gamestop, toys r us, etc. Most fake cards are bought on ebay, or from flea markets, so never buy cards online unless the site or seller is trustworthy, never buy bulk EX cards, and don't buy from flea markets if the cards are still sealed, especially if the packs are $2 or less! I thought that might be helpful to add- I sell at a local flea market and i feel horrible seeing kids buying $1 fake packs that are sold there.
Thank god none of my new cards are fake. My mom wasted 20$, so I would of felt bad

That's the easiest way to know if you're scammed dude.
Yea ummmm
Thanks now I know none of my Pokémon cards are fake
Me: was thinking off throwing all my fake pokemon cards*
Also me: realises all of my pokemon cards are fake*
I bought some off Amazon and they all were fake
Atleast i think
Keep in mind sometimes real cards are cut of center, but it is possible, I had that with some cards from a sealed tin in a trust worthy store (Gamemania)
They sellin u fakes
Yoooo I bought a booster box from AMAZON for like 10 dollars and I got 773 dollars worth of half of the Pokémon cards I didn’t check the other half although I did the one half and like I sorted out all v and v max differently and o m g 773 dollars and then I thought it might be fake so I watched this and it isn’t fake so lessssss goooo
6:31 never doing this way cuz if it turns out my card was real......
*I JUST BENT MY FRICKING POKEMON CARD*
So I recommend doing the first way cuz its nice. Thank You For Your Time
For me I do still collect Pokemon cards even they are fake the importants is you having fun collecting them
sherwin ng well I participate in championships it’s more fun
For me l just like the art
a way to tell if it is fake or not only real ones have a black line inside if you rip them...
Blobfish Gamer a tip no one is gonna use XD but thanks
So what I ripped a mewtwo EX anyway and it was fake
Nobody is gonna do that........except some that I know
the only reason i am watching this is to sell my pokemon cards but i have originals and fakes mixed together.
The best way to tell is at the back guys look at the "Pokémon Logo" The Blue outline should be super light, if it's dark blue it's fake. Light blue around the border of the Lettings of the logo is real. I hope that helps.
The moment you rip your rare card from bending it
Lol i just bented my EX PIKACHU !!!

Thanks man, I recently got some Pokémon cards and i thought something was off and j went to watch your video. Now i know it’s fake! 😄
Thank you this is helpful because I am bout to order Pokémon cards and I need to make sure that they are not fake thank you.
FYI you can use scales to weigh objects, also two objects at different weights will fall to earth at the same speed... this is due to gravity being "9.8 m/s/s acceleration of any object placed there" regardless of weight.
Thanks for telling me this now I know that I have 4 fake Pokémon cards!
Wonderful , All my cards are fake 😅
