Counterfeit Mantle card being auctioned as PSA 5

[RUSH2112]

The shape of the numbers "5" and "9" on the slab of the card being sold are also much different from the authentic PSA 5 example.

This is the response I got when I clicked "other" in the contact options of the sellers "My World" page.

We're sorry we couldn't find an answer for you. Unfortunately, this seller is not able to respond to your question. We suggest reviewing the item again to see if your answer is in the seller's listing.

Card is still there on eBay. I also reported it as counterfeit around 2pm today. I wonder how many such reports eBay will ignore before it sells. Anyone care for a count?

It doesn't seem that ebay is going to take our word for it. Hopefully someone in charge will look at this thread and see the two obviously different cards with the same serial number and decide the auction should be shut down. The seller has been told about this thread too. I wonder if he's even looked at it?
By the way, another easy way to tell the two apart is the bar codes. They are obviously different.

It appears the only way to protect those bidders will be for someone on this board to win that card.

Then slam the seller with the following feedback:

SCAMMER! SELLING FAKE MANTLE IN FAKE HOLDER DESPITE PROOF IT IS FAKE

That may seem like a good idea, the only problem is, the seller could take you to court for breach of contract and ebay could suspend your account for non payment.

Now, if the buyer found out the card is fake after buying and found out that ebay and the seller both were notified that it had problems, the buyer would have a very strong case in court against both parties.

If he does, you can countersue for fraud.

And look at the difference in spacing between the EX and 5.
