back of real pokemon card Fake or real? I don't know. The backside is slightly lighter and off center than your average card, but the front looks very legit. I've had it for a long time. Advice? Are these Pokemon cards authentic?

12 Jetfire, Ingenious Scientist // Jetfire, Air Guardian Jetfire, Ingenious Scientist is a 3/4 flying creature that when conditions are met, can help ramp up mana

Its ability to increase a Stage 1 Pokemon's HP by 30 can deny opponents of valuable KOs, making it a valuable inclusion in Stage 1 decks

You can cast it by paying its alternative cost (pay 1 life and exile a blue card from your hand), but the mana value is still 5

They will not take any offense to you, and they should allow you and your friend a very close examination to ensure that the Graded Card is authentic

Paldean Fates is loaded with cool shiny Pokemon just like previous sets Hidden Fates (Sun & Moon era) and Shining Fates (Sword & Shield era)
