From what I could notice straight away, the backs of the Spanish cards are way darker in colour. The others all look the same, tbh.

Post by: SpaceButtPonies on January 30, 2018, 03:39:55 PM: Another way to tell fake cards is thickness, feel, and obvious errors.
Fake cards are thicker and feel all around rough. Real cards are smooth. When looking at the front if the card how its cut is also determined. Is the cut uneven or even? Even is most likely legit and uneven is fake. You'll also see spelling errors and different pokemon as their evolution.
