I'm almost sure it's fake. The thing that makes me thinks so, is where there is a break in the surface or edge of the card and you can see the cardboard making up the inside of the card. That cardboard should be a grayish color and on this card the cardboard is white. This isn't consistent with the type of material these cards were made out of. I don't know the correct terminology, but basically the wood pulp wasn't bleached in the original and in this reproduction the paper pulp making up the card is white so when the interior material is visible it's the wrong color. I hope that makes sense.
