Default Ebay Seller Warning- Counterfit

A while back, I purchased a 1933 Sport Kings Walter Hagen card and just sent a group of them off for authentication and grading with SGC. The card sold by Ebay seller gra4719 came back as counterfeit. Based on the time since purchase, I can't be refunded, and it isn't a ton of money, but a quick glance at some of the other autographed items seems like a warning about this seller is necessary. Photos attached of raw card as well as SGC info. The card's photo's weren't great on the listing which was the first red flag then when it arrived, the color seemed off. Was hoping it had just been coated in something but I guess not. Below is the seller's link to have a look at other items. Unfortunately it is too late for me to leave Ebay feedback, so trying to warn others on card forums since they have been non responsive to me messaging them.

You may wish to ask Leon to move this to the right part of the forum (the main page). This is the autograph forum.

Unfortunately, pretty much anybody around here could have told you that card was a phony. You'd be wise to not buy things like this without any assistance until you feel you have the knowledge to spot a very obvious fake. It will only end up with your constantly getting scammed, leaving you bitter about the hobby and ultimately losing interest in collecting.

Based on the ebay photos, it looked like a rough 1933 sport kings. I have quite a few and to see them rough is not out of the ordinary. I'm by no means a professional but I'd say I own more of the existing population of them than 90% of the collectors. In person, it is 100% questionable. From ebay photos, it was worth the risk of a sub $100 purchase. I lost on this one. Just hoping to warn others, especially with some of the autos they have listed in their ebay store.

It's pretty obviously fake from the front of the card, the back actually looks more authentic than the front.
