Font on the back of the card is usually a bit off, sometimes with spelling errors.
The ones i've seen in person have Frenzy and Laserbeak on the front, but on the back both have instructions/tech specs for Ravage and Rumble.
Have you got a specific link? | |

I'm guessing it's a KO?
It does look like it has a bit of wear to it though, but probably not enough for a 20 year old toy. | |

Going by the rivets on Frenzy's arms, i'm fairly sure it's the repro version. | |

Even though there are a lot more like-new knockoff frenzy/laserbeak sets than like-new authentic frenzy/laserbeak sets, the latter do exist. The Allspark and TF Pulp present...
