Is this not a counterfeit?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1998-Flair-Showcase-3-Peyton-Manning-RC-MINT-BGS-9-ROW-2-NNO-LEGACY-ERROR-/151783756511?hash=item23570452df

I had bought one of these many years ago back in 1999 when information wasnt as available as it is now, but long story short, I bought it for $20 and saw that they were going for $100 and decided to flip it a year later. After listing it, I was contacted by several people telling me that all the legacy rookies are serial numbered and that the one I had up was a fake. Shortly after a lawyer from Fleer, who was apparently tipped off about my listing, contacted me and told me that it was a counterfeit and to give him a call at his office to discuss returning it. He gave me his number, I checked it out and it was legit, he was a lawyer for Fleer.

Thats the preface....this is the same type of card....blue looking crazy foil on front and no serial number on back. Anyone else know info about this card? I am almost sure it is a fake, yet resides in a BGS holder.
IT IS ALWAYS CHEAPER TO NOT SELL ON EBAY

    If I remember correctly, there was a good bit of Flair Showcase misprints that walked out the back door of the plant. I had a Manning similar to this one that I sold on Ebay years ago. Like you, I was contacted by Fleer lawyers. I have a Chipper Jones that I believe was supposed to have blue lettering but it has purple lettering.
