sry...i dont know if it is real....if you know anyways i can figure it out by looking at the card plz tell me...but i dont know. i got this when i was a kid....but pretty sure its real. i mean its not a sticker, its a card
If you compare the card to a real card from the same year or set that you know is real and this one feels different then thats a way you can tell if its fake, or if the card has any odd words spelled wrong or the energy signs are really off thats another way you can tell real from fake.
This card is real. A Pokemon card set called Legendary Collection came out in 2002. Every card in this set had a non-foil version and a foil version (what the Psyduck looks like). Source:
"Wizards took a hint from Magic and made a reverse-holo refractor card for every single card in the set." Wizards was the company that made the cards, and Magic is another trading card game.
I recognized this card as a Legendary Collection card but went to Bulbapedia for more info.
Thanks for the information retropoke. I knew about the set, but have not gone into much of the collecting of that set to know that they had a holo and nonholo for each card.
Its ok! :D im just glad its real lol....didnt know it was from a Legendary Collection...does that mean its rare? o.O i always like this card cuz it was shiny :D
ya its real but it isnt a shiny shiny pokemon is an alternate colored pokemon this is just a reverse so if it is shiny psyduck it would be light blue intead if yellow
