    Good point, but remember this is a fake!!
    This is the problem I have with something like this on eBay. There may just be a chance that some unknowing collector with a little extra money might buy this, then say a couple months later send it to ngc or pcgs for slabbing and then at that point find out it is a fake. And then he may well be stuck with it as the seller refuses to refund him.

    This one was on eBay about a month ago and I do not think it was taken off. The auction just ran its course.

    Well, the holder says "very rare", so it must be, right?

    NO DOUBT! There has to be less of this "Fake" made than the real one.

    What I wonder about is how these auctions get air time in the first place. Is there never any screening by ebay personnel who know what to look for before auctions go live?

    Put in place a PAID panel of experts knowledgeable people who can help put a stop to attempted fraud. How hard can it be?

    I would offer my services to them but I don't work for free.

    Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.
