This is a genuine, official Pokémon card from an overseas edition. (It is not an illegal replica or counterfeit. You can identify the difference from fakes by checking the embossed pattern.) Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about the condition. Please note that overseas editions often have more noticeable initial scratches compared to the Japanese editions. There is a small scratch visible around the Poké Ball on the back. The front appears to be in very good condition. The card will be packaged in a sleeve and reinforced with cardboard or similar materials for shipping.
