The Goodwin card has the exact same things different or missing that the Ebay card has missing or different.
Light name/team area, lower left corner has no border gap, and there's no dot near the right border about halfway up the photo.
If it's a cheap photocopy the Goodwin card or one like it was likely the source.

There is new tape, but the stains appear to be browned residue of older tape. I have a few cards and other items with similar stains, and getting the adhesive to dry and harden until the cellophane comes off takes time. Blown up, the thickness and occasional glossy spots show. If someone has an easy way to fake that, hats off to them.

None of that rules out an older fake that's not a photocopy, they've been around since at least 78, and I can't imagine wood was the only one done.
