Now, red flags abound, but let's ignore those and discuss the card on it's merits and use it hone our repro ID skills.

In the newly created Net54 forgery ID section, there is an article on IDing reproductions of exactly this card:

However, the card on ebay seems to pass many, if not all of the criterion:
1)This space between the border and image
2) Space under foot
3) No trimming on bottom of card
4) Gap in the corner of the border

So, looking at the card, was it real or fake?
