I wrote to the guy but got no response, and the auction is still going. The rest of his cards seem to be real so I guess he doesn't realize, but it's pretty crappy for him to leave this auction running after being informed--

I know it gets tedious to see all these ebay fake threads, but I thought it might be good for any newer lurkers/posters to see exactly what these M101 fakes look like, since they show up so often.

For anyone who might not know, here is a genuine M101-5. Check the auction and compare to this one. The easiest giveaway is the distance between the black box enclosing the photo and the edge of the photo, which is much wider on the fakes.
