As others have stated, the corner wear and edge wear are not what you would find on a real Fatima. Fatimas are too thin for that.

This seller can't have it both ways. He states that the card is "an original" and "rare." He calls his auction "unique." He requires insurance for the BIDDER'S protection yet tries to indemnify himself from any responsibilty by claiming he can't "guarantee" authenticity or provide a refund. The entire listing is about guaranteeing HIS protection.

If he is telling the truth, the consigner could reimburse him if the item turns out to be fake. Ebay should not allow this. This clearly violates their policy.
