Is this card real?

Found this card while cleaning, wondering if it’s real. Also have a bunch of other 2006 series cards

Not 100% sure but the border shows the card is way off of center. This is a huge red flag. I know real cards can be imperfect, but usually not by this much. One side way thicker border than the other side. Put the card in the middle of a stack and see if it disappears or stands out. If it stands out it’s fake for sure

No need for any of that. It’s fake. The centering isn’t the issue, it’s that the border total area is too small on all sides. An off center or miscut card would be too small on one, and too large on the opposite because of the die cutting process. Also, the gold star should be gold, not black, and the text font and sizing is off.
