If it makes you feel any better, the wood grain in the hole doesn’t line up with the wood grain of the rest of the table. It’s a slightly sloppy photoshop.
You can also tell by zooming in and looking at the focus/detail/resolution difference between the card’s art and the wood of the table along the edge of the cut-away hole. That slightly jarring difference of resolution is a dead giveaway for a photoshop.
Come on, that’s literally just JPEG artefacting because it’s a meme and it’s been shared a bunch. There are so many fakes of this card out there, it’s not that far-fetched and it’s likely not a $10k+ card that was destroyed.
What are these worth currently?
10K at the low end.

It doesn’t? Looks fine to me
Look at the top section of it. The bottom section is fine, but the top is way off.
Uhh, that’s what wood grain looks like. It could still be shopped but that’s not evidence.
Ha I still can’t see it! Maybe it’s cus I’m on a phone…but to me, the grain looks bang on, even with the curvature

It’s not a hole. It’s a token.
The hole in the card
Ooohhhh! The grain could just be bending a little.
Earlier this year, one in perfect condition sold for 3 million USD.
