Ebay vets nothing. It doesn't matter where you buy any of these type of raw cards you need to be careful. Buy from a trusted source is #1. The backs of these fakes will look a little blurry but are very, very good and can/have fooled longtime experts in the field. So far I am not aware of them getting past the TPGs though the big 3 have all handled these fakes recently and caught them.
