Even outside of the authenticity of the card itself, at a very minimum it’s always worth doing a quick cert lookup any time you want to purchase an expensive slab. After a quick look…
Totally incorrect slab/text/barcode/etc. Definitely don’t buy this.

Op I have to ask. Were you actually going to spend the 200k +/- on this?
No offense intended at all. I’m just a little surprised to hear it. You did the right thing to ask. Even if you feel a little silly, you’d feel way worse -200k

look at the back photo, theres a little bit of whitening on the bottom right corner, which is not there in the cert pic.

Well the 90$ would call it out. The colors look weird, the slab doesn’t match the cert. The borders look a bit thin

If it’s too good to be true in Pokemon, it almost always is.
In 2024, anyone with a single brain cell firing can look up a graded Pokemon card and estimate its worth. The days of someone accidentally selling their PSA 10 Base Set 1st Ed Charizard are long gone.
