Yes. Most assuredly, that $250,000 card is fake.

If you hang around this forum much you wouldn't even need to ask that question. It's a good question but a very, very poor fake...

That last one has all the characteristics of a genuine card. If it’s a fake it’s a good one.

As others have mentioned, a fake. Even if not familiar with how a real card should look, a telltale sign that a card is fake is the dark squiggle lines. Of the images provided, they are most visible on the top border of the closeup of the top of the card. I have not encountered a card that has these squiggles to be real...all have been considered to be non-authentic.

Also the corners, a true giveaway.

Some call those lines "crackle," and you're right, they are a dead giveaway.

Lol.

I figured it made sense to post a real one for comparison, and then I started wondering if people would call it real or fake. There were few responses, but they were all correct
