Unfortunately cards manufactured to defraud collectors are also not uncommon. This card is part of that unfortunate group.
Pose and coloration NG
Back NG
No pinstripes NG
Size wrong NG
Card stock wrong NG
While I agree that it is possible to "find" a card that has not been cataloged it is also much easier for the person who creates this type of fantasy / fake card say if he gets cought that it is not a counterfeit it is an original piece of art.
The person who created this card knows full well that a handful of cards cut from a poster do exist. And he exploits the doubt that it creates. I owned for over 30 years a 3 card strip of Gold coins that was cut from advertising poster. This is not one of those. Five glaring problems with this card. And yet hope springs eternal.
