He did not buy that card many years ago as he says, if he ever bought it at all. It is not a reprint, it is a fake, a counterfeit, generated by a laser printer. Many of his other listings are "slabbed" with a label that makes no mention of a reproduction. He likely slabbed them himself, and as you suggested Leon, he knew all along that these were not real-- he did not need to be told.
