Step 5: Check the Card's Alignment and Borders Compare front and backoff-center borders or inconsistent alignment can be red flags

The Team Rocket set was the first time we ever saw dark Pokmon cards, which had menacing artwork and tended to have lower HP than their counterparts in return for stronger moves that dealt more damage

Fortunately, lots of the sacrifice outlets in this set, like Powerstone Fracture, Thraxodemon, and Penregon Strongbull all allow you to sacrifice either creatures or artifacts

This can change as real cards are lost or damaged and become harder to find at low cost, so theres a good chance that the prevalence of fakes will rise in the coming years
