Crappy pictures, unable to see the San Mai demarcation line if it is there. Marking?

Looks fake to me...the lack of lamination line is a definite red flag, but sometimes they can be hard to see in pics, especially crappy ones like that, which is another red flag. But also the letters in the "VG-1 SAN MAI" marking look too thin. Here is a link to a real one:

Thank you for validating my concerns.
