Totally agree there's no certain proof of this being a bad listing, and again agree with Brian in that many of us use the better scan from an AH either for display or when selling. Further agree it could have been a failed flip attempt.

However as a buyer I would still also heed ezez's advice and exercise some healthy caution; the feedback profile has two big red flags for me as a buyer... One is that I see no items sold that are remotely comparable to this one, and secondly, lots of reprints and reprint autos. Then there's the weird photo of a photocopy of the card after the good photos. Again, no ironclad proof of anything, but as a picky buyer confidence is not exactly inspired. I would have avoided this particular listing for those reasons.

If the listing is legitimate, someone got a really good deal. True, the card is stained and OC and diamond cut, but the central image is pretty nice. If real, the buyer could sell it again for 7k-ish with patience (last owner paid $8400 with the juice), and thereby make a couple grand; or the buyer got one for his collection at a sweet price. Gotta root for the fellow collector always, so hope that's the case over a fake being what gets mailed. With ebay protection and return policy would seem buyer has his back covered.
