Genuine card stock and period-correct printing. High confidence (99%). This specific card is not a target for counterfeiting due to high availability and low market value.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Best sold as part of a bulk lot on eBay, or through a platform like COMC (Check Out My Cards) where set builders look for specific singles. Not recommended for individual auction due to shipping costs relative to value.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are a registry set collector, as the grading fee is much higher than the card's value. List as part of a team lot or 'pick your card' listing to save on shipping. Use a penny sleeve and top loader for protection.
