If the seller really thought the value was $35,000 (as it says on the back of this well known reprint), the bin would be $35,000 not $6,000.

You don't have to be a Harvard logician to figure out that an original card doesn't describe itself in the past tense on the back. For the same reason that you don't have to be a Louvre curator to figure out that it isn't the original Mona Lisa printed on your coffee mug-- in particular when there's a Mona Lisa on each side. Helpful hint: none of DaVinci's paintings have handles.
