Authentication Notes
This is a classic fake 'gold foil' card frequently sold on third-party marketplaces (Amazon, AliExpress, eBay). Authentic Rainbow Secret Rares have full-surface fingerprint-like texture, white/grey cardstock back, holographic rainbow foil, and correct borders, rather than a solid gold plastic surface.
