Default Ebay Auction Possible Fake

Hopefully I'm not wrong in outing this auction. I just don't want to see somebody get burned. Does anyone else have serious doubts about this cards authenticity?

I'm no e90-1 expert, but it definitely doesn't look good to me.

What is weird is that he has some legit cards listed, but some I'm sure are fakes. Not sure how many? I messaged him and he didn't seem to care about listing them, just that he would offer a refund if they were found to be not authentic. I see this going bad for the bidders and the seller.

Scans are terrible and probably purposely so but the biggest tip off is the reverse. How can both the left and right borders be faded out but the center be much more clear. Additionally the font on the reverse is not near heavy enough, the printing should be much thicker. I'd say very good chance it's bogus. Definetly not worth taking a chance for $600+. As a seller the only reason not to get a high dollar card graded would be that it's not legit, if u'd offer a month refund why wouldn't u take a few weeks time to have it graded where u could recognize 3x the sales price. Only one answer to that.
