I really can’t tell and I want some expert opinion prior to buying it

I’m not expert but it looks like the front and back were glued together… Am I seeing things??

Looks like it just came off of a home printer

Front looks very badly printed / faded (inkjet printer)
Back looks misaligned, probably glued on from a real card

You can see the overlap white card backing on the left and bottom

“brand new” out of the printer maybe

I was considering buying it and then just returning if it felt fake but someone already scooped it up, thanks for feedback guys!

It’s fake. The back of the card is of modern cards, slightly glossy finish. The old Base Set has a different feel to the back of the cards, somewhat of a wavy pattern. You dodged a bullet there.

It’s not REAL WRASTLING

Aside from the reasons other people said - I knew this was a fake because it’s a 1st edition English Charizard without even as much as a penny sleeve protecting it while sitting raw on a carpet. Considering PSA 1’s go for over a thousand dollars, no way in hell would this be real.

People outside of the pokemon world have no clue of the value. Ive seen 1st edition zards bound by rubber bands, Lamimated, washed inside of a kid’s pants. To most people these cards are just pieces of cardboard…

I’ll sell you one for $500. It might be black and white though, not sure I have any colour ink left…
