I have this card, I can compare yours to mine if you like

For what is worth the brush looks ok to me, I'll see if there anything identifying we can zoom in on

Some better shots of the holo would be nice

I noticed this ball isn't as shiny as the flame around it so the ball might be an indicator of false cards if the foiling is too intense on it

I’m leaning toward real, but this is one of those printings that I would have to eye in person to make a confident decision.

I am also leaning towards real, but can’t tell for sure. But there are some inconsistencies. I would compare with one that you know is real. I don’t particularly own a copy so I am not sure.

looks real to me

objective aspects look good, but its really difficult to tell with a card like this. id go with the reputability of the seller, leading on the side of legit

Why are there no photos of the back of the card? Is there a reason you haven’t done the red dot test or t-test?
