I just got a pair of Latias / Latios cards, but the text size is different between them. Is one fake?

Aug. 7, 2018



I just got a bunch of cards from a friend, and two of them were Latias and Latios, 8 and 9 / 113 of the Delta Species expansion. They’re both holo (including the name and HP, which is why they’re hard to see in the pictures), and have very similar moves, which makes the different text sizes really stand out. I’m really not an expert on the TCG, so I was hoping someone here might be able to spot a fake.Here’s some images of them.

From what I can tell, neither card is fake. Comparing two screenshots of cards known to be real and camparing them to your cards, the text is supposed to be bigger on latios.And as a final reason, the pokeball on the backs of the card appear to be the same shade. Normally fake cards have a darker color on the pokeball.

TL;DR: They are both real.
