If I had to guess from a picture I would say fake. The stock has a coloring to it that looks like a lot of the other fakes out there. If it’s real then it’s an 8-9 grade. Cards this nice are almost never sold raw. Another reason it looks fake.
It’s very hard to judge from a photo. I really need to examine in person to be sure.

Nah no way. Writing on back is too blue, very typical of the Ebay reprints out there.

It's also perfectly centered both front and back which is a red flag sometimes.
