FAKE FANS is a deep dive into the world of bootleg Pokémon cards — strange, offbeat, mistranslated relics that live on the fringes of collecting culture. Through personal anecdotes and a fascination with the quirks of the printing process, the zine explores how these unofficial cards, from glow-in-the-dark surprises to factory-floor myths, have their own unique charm and history. Stuck within the pages are reproduced sticker bootlegs, turning the zine into a tactile collection that blurs the line between research and obsession.
