[Questions] Is this a real card?

    Hello!

    I'd posted last month about this Charizard card I have, but it looks like the thread I'd posted to was taken down as I can't view any of the responses. I'm curious as to whether or not this is a legitimate misprint, or some kind of altered card/faked Charizard. The foil is printed directly on, and it doesn't differ from other Pokemon cards printed around this time in any way save for the missing shadow (which I'm aware is a hallmark of misprinted, rare cards)

    Is this a real card?


    It's an old card, and definitely not the only one I'm curious about in the collection.

    I'm aware this photo is a bit rough; if you need a closer look please let me know and I can snap some more. Thank you for your time!

    I do not believe that card to be authentic. Sorry. :(

  • The only way this might be altered somehow is if those gaps between Charizard's right wing and head, lower jaw and tail, etc. are actually holo (I see the holo pattern there, but it just looks printed-on from the photo). Otherwise, it's definitely fake.

    Looks like a standard "Green wing charizard" which was a regular issue between first edition and the common shadowed cards.
