How do you identify fake YuGiOh cards?

My sons friend told him some of his cards are fake. I am now searching the web and comparing cards to see if I can tell. I get that some have a silver or gold hologram square and those are easy to see. Are all the ones with black and white squares fake? Also what about non shiny cards with no sqaure and a copy right symbol??? Finally should the back say Konami in the top left on all the cards. I hope someone can dumb this down for me, my son is driving me nuts!!! Thanks!

How do you identify fake YuGiOh cards?
There are several ways to check the authencity of Yu-Gi-Oh cards.





1. All real cards have either Gold(1st Edition) or Silver(Unlimited Edition) foiling on the right hand corner. There's a symbol called a wajet, an egyptian style eye.


2. Below the picture there is always a collector's number. Example, Elemental Hero Neos' collector number is POTD-EN001. Some of the older cards don't have EN in front of the number but they're still legal cards.


3. On the very bottom there are two things. A serial number that is used to enter cards into various video games and Kazuki Takahashi 1996. Egyptian God cards don't have serial numbers and will instead say "This card can't be used in a Duel." in English or Japanese.


4. On the back of the card it should say Konami on the top and "Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game" on the bottom, on top of some Japanese writing.


5. The back of real God cards are always the same color as the God. Here's more info about identifying real God cards- http://reviews.ebay.com/HOW-TO-BUY-REAL-...
Reply:Fake cards burn. So light all your cards on fire and the ones that dont burn are real. Sorry i could resist but in all reality i have no clue, never seen a fake.
Reply:there's many ways to identify fake yu-gi-oh : 1.) if the card has a back that is lighter colored than the regular ones ITS FAKE. 2.) has a floppy design as in not study ITS FAKE. 3.) shiny all over and not just the monster pic ITS FAKE. 4.) and finally there should be a shiny thingy majigger in the bottom right hand corner, fake cards do not have the shiny thing or the thing isn't shiny.

Reply:You can identify a fake card in several ways:





• Real cards will have a square hologram in the bottom-right corner of the card. The hologram has the Eye of Anubis logo and the words "Yu-Gi-Oh!" on it. Fake cards may be missing some of these elements.





• The corner hologram should be so thin that you cannot feel it if you run your finger across it. If you can feel the hologram, then the card may be fake and the sticker may have been glued on to the card.





• If the entire card, not just the picture, is foil or shiny, the card is fake.





� Real cards have the Konami logo on the upper-left corner of the back and have the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game logo in the lower-right corner of the back.





• Fake cards may be printed on paper that is thinner or thicker than real cards. Fake cards may also be printed on paper that is shiny or feels like wax.





• Fake cards may have fuzzy text that is not professionally printed. They may also have colors that are different from those on real cards.





• Fake super rare or ultra rare cards will sometimes have a dull picture or the foil may be dull. Real cards will have a sharp picture.





• There is no such thing as a real Chinese Yu-Gi-Oh! card. They have never been printed except as fakes.





• People may offer cards that are fuzzy or have bad colors, saying that they are "rare, defective cards." Don't buy cards like this—they are probably fake.
Reply:On the back it should say Yu-Gi-Oh! and Konami, and the back should also look like a black/orange swirl. On the front, look in the bootom right corner for a silver/gold box.
Reply:Usually the tiny silver/gold box willl say, only get 1st editions xD





Hm... the back will be different if it's fake


If it's flimsy, its fake





The back will be a different color or will swirl a different way if its fake
Reply:First: Gather all the cards together and sell them.
