Pokemon Card Price & The Light Test

The light test is a legal, simple method to check a card’s pokemon card price authenticity. By holding a card up to a bright light, you can legally inspect the layering. Real Pokemon cards have a distinct black core layer between the front and back. Illegally, most counterfeit cards lack this core and will let light shine through completely. If light passes through easily, the card is fake and its pokemon card price is zero. Always use this legal test before buying expensive vintage singles.
