That looks real to me!
EDIT: It appears that he has selected reprint on the auction. The PSA case it is in is very convincing.

I like how the guy cropped out the psa logo on the top. totally bogus.

The PSA case tipped me off. Wow I missed that one...

The auction isn't legit.

Is the PSA case an optical illusion then or is it fit in that case? How could it have gotten in it?

I would guess that he probably stole the image...

Great point on covering the top of the holder.

But, why would he go so far as to say it is grade a "2" and such?

Who would cover the holder on a card like that? If I really owned that card & really was selling it, I would be proud to show the holder, but that's me. The color in the background should be more of an orange instead of yellowish tone it has & the type in the name & team appears to be darker than it should.

You can get a reprint graded.

I just got an email back and the guy stated that the card was made to look old and is for sure a reprint. As far as the holder I never asked.

Why on earth are reprints being graded? Only bad things can come from that.
Under the item specifics it says "Card Attributes: Piece of Authentic" whatever the heck that means. These type of auctions are certainly a piece of something. ;)

As much as we love this hobby, there seems to be more and more outright thievery every day from fake Cards w stolen images and fake holders, to the proliferation of forgeries all over the autograph world, to peons cutting up bats/jerseys and chopping up signatures to fit on a dumb card, or putting forgeries on the card. Makes you kinda cynical, Id say?

I just started getting cards (I did it as a kid, buying one pack of Topps at a time) again, mostly 1930's and earlier. I am stunned at how much deception goes on with it. It's almost a shame that some cards have so much value they attract the counterfeit element. But anyway, this is a great forum, I will definitely run suspicious-looking eBay auctions through here when I come across them.

Simple, it's a revenue stream. Albeit I can't imagine a very large one.
