Default Complete Idiot or Scam Artist????

Posted By: Paul

Here is a guy with 97% feedback selling an E107. From the scan, it is clear that the card is not a reprint (at least I think it's clear, despite the tiny scan). However, the seller claims he is selling it "as a reprint" in order to comply with ebay's rules, since the card is ungraded. (I guess that's ebay rule 5.6(a)(3) - all ungraded cards must be sold as reprints, even though ebay provides a separate category for ungraded original cards).

I see two possibilities here. 1) He's a total scam artist and will send you absolutely nothing or a photocopy of the original card shown in the scan, or 2) he is a complete idiot and really is selling an original E107 as a reprint. I suppose it's also possible that he has made a high quality reprint of an E107 and then ripped off half the back, trimmed it down, but resisted the temptation to soak it in tea.

What do you think is going on?
