How can I tell if my Alakazam is real?
Alakazam is classified as high counterfeit risk: Base Set holo with strong collector demand; routinely counterfeited. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
