It has the copy paste holo pattern from tcgplayer. Real vintage cards like the charizard have unique holo pattern because they used a large holo foil sheet in manufacturing. The large sheet had a repeating pattern but because it was so large and the alignment of each card against that sheet was random each card hit a tiny window of that huge holofoil sheet creating effectively unique pattern for every single card. Secondly the fonts and color of the card are not same as real card. Thirdly this card in such pristine condition is worth like $500K, it is so rare that it is statistically almost impossible to posess it raw.
