Can anyone offer their opinion as to if this is real or not?

For starters, I’m likely not purchasing this card but it had got me thinking about how best to determine legitimacy of ungraded cards. I know the likely response is to buy high dollar cards graded, but in this hypothetical let’s imagine we can’t.

The thing that sticks out to me here are the rounded edges, they don’t look organic, but I’m not an expert so I defer to you all.

Unfortunately, we cant see the image.

That would make two of us. Let me try and fix.

It’s an Alpha Charizard!

But actually, it’s fake

Definitely fake. The back looks to be of newer sets rather than a WOTC card.

100% fake.

Those “proxy” fake cards are easy peezy. The thin borders, the back, the lack of holo… etc.

Compare the corners of your card to the real card below. The card you posted has a larger radius on the corners than official cards.
