Default Just another variation on the theme

Not that we haven't posted a bunch of ebay reprint scam stuff here before, but I thought this was one had just enough of a twist to merit some attention.

I like how the seller claims it is in 'very very good condition' yet because of its condition it is ungraded and is thus being sold as a reprint. But the main twist is that he boldly offers a refund if it doesn't grade, as if to imply that it is indeed real. I guess the scam is worth it to the seller if the buyer doesn't have it graded.

The world is a cold place and sometimes it gives me goosebumps.
