Vincent Willem van Gogh (30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art. Known for his bold colors, expressive brushstrokes, and emotionally charged paintings, he produced a vast body of work during his short career, including around 2,100 artworks, consisting of 860 oil paintings and over 1,300 drawings and watercolors.

Van Gogh's art is characterized by its vibrant colors, bold outlines, and expressive brushwork. His paintings often depict landscapes, portraits, and still lifes, and are infused with a strong emotional intensity. He was also a prolific letter writer, and his correspondence with his brother Theo provides valuable insights into his life and work.

Van Gogh's life was marked by mental illness and personal struggles. He suffered from periods of depression, anxiety, and psychosis, and he eventually committed suicide at the age of 37. Despite his tragic end, his art has had a lasting impact on the world, and he is considered one of the most important painters of all time.

Well it is easy if you know what you are looking for.

Step one is to look at the copyright,
The FAKE has no spaces inbetween the Pokemon/Nintendo.

The REAL will be labled like this
2023 Pokemon / Nintendo / Creatures / Game Freak

Step two is a little harder
The crimps on the FAKE are identical and perfectly spaced from the top and bottom of the plastic wrap.

The REAL has a more messy crimp with the top very close to the edge and the bottom is further in from the edge.

Third and final step.
The REAL has the FR text on the back and the FAKE does not.

This only applies to the first batch of FAKES and will keep changing.
