Yep, fake.
Borders way too wide. Color looks totally off. Same with the paper stock.

amazing how many times fake cards are 'given' to a family member 30 years ago. Seems like better chance to get a real card if given in the past few years from a stranger

I hope I am wrong in saying this and the OP is legit but I hate seeing others give advice to newbies when their first post is about a card/cards that are worth thousands of dollars and highly desirable.
I know I have only been here a relative short time compared to many others but over that relative short period of time, time and time again, I have seen newbies with similar questions, when, once they've received the info on how their fake/reprint cards look, quickly leave never to come back again. Call me pessimistic, whatever, but by telling these newbies what the tell tales signs are that make their cards fakes only provides the info/tools they need to improve on them. No offense intended, Diablo, and like I said, hopefully you are not one but I hope you can also understand where I am coming from?

Sure, that is a common concern, Dale. But everything mentioned in this post is easily found on Google to tell this card is a fake. The OP didn't set off my bullocks detector. But I didn't reveal any trade secrets fakers didn't already know.

WELCOME to the boards
Sorry for the "painful" introduction. If you've checked out the boards - you know there is no shortage of opinions and usually very few punches pulled. So I hope the status of your card (real or fake) will not dissuade you from staying a member.
Regarding the card - I usually prefer to have the card in hand when forming an opinion - that said, I tend to agree that the border is what stood out as a flag for me the moment I saw the scan. Secondly agree that the paper stock doesn't look right. So not a forgone conclusion, but a huge red flag and giant question mark.
