I don't know, but the picture doesn't immediately look fake.
Seeing someone holding likely the most valuable Magic card in history unsleeved and bare-handed, with their fingerprints on the flat faces of the card is enough to give any card collector an aneurysm, though
It's nice that this one is expensive purely as a curiosity for collectors; unlike the Power 9 (or other pricey cards in general, especially on the Reserved List) it doesn't gatekeep access to any actual game format. I approve of Wizards partitioning their product into "pieces used to play a game" and "fancy art pieces".
Its fake. The whole card isnt supposed to be foil, just the lettering. This is a pretty good fake but also pretty obvious.
