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.
