Those who told you it's fake probably doesn't even know what a Coupon is.

Generally, I agree with above posts, I think card is real, a T213. The back looks a bit odd, but that could be the scan. Do you have other T213 Coupons with which to compare it? I suspect folks with less experience would see that name in blue on the front and see a back they're not familiar with, and figure it is an example of someone attempting to fake a T206. I think your card is ok, but would suggest comparing it to another T213, and a quick illumination with a black light.

Frank.

Its authentic, or a homemade copy of one.


The only fake T213-2 would be a homemade one. Thats set has not been reprinted yet. The homemade ones would be made on a printer from an authentic photo of a card. Then the front and back would be glued together. They should be obvious in person.

I agree, the card looks authentic. I think that the back is out of focus which is why it looks a little off. If you can, post a high res scan but even with the scan you have it looks pretty good.

Real card with a bad picture. I would have them re scan it so you can see the card better.
