These kinds of fakes are probably the first kinds of fake cards to have existed, probably being first released shortly after the Pokémon TCG was originally released in Japan in 1996. These cards are generally duplicates of existing cards, but printed on cheaper card stock, places on holographic foils, and/or slightly altered to make each card a humorous farce of its original (like a [[Psychic]] [[Rattata]] card with an attack that does 5000 damage). Counterfeit fakes continue to be a problem to this day and are becoming harder to spot as time goes on. | These kinds of fakes are probably the first kinds of fake cards to have existed, probably being first released shortly after the Pokémon TCG was originally released in Japan in 1996.
