Not odd at all. If a seller is trying to scam people what better way to do it than throw some worthless fakes/reproductions/fantasy pieces in with real, authentic items? Potential buyers look at the real items and let their guard down when looking at the fake stuff. They might have questions but seeing the authentic items gives them reassurance.
I do not know this seller or if this is what he is doing. However, I DO know another seller on eBay, who has three different ID's, who does this. I have complained to eBay for YEARS about this guy but they do nothing about it. So, he sells fakes, makes tens of thousands of dollars a year and buyers unknowingly get burned.
