It's probably someone's 2nd ebay account. You can see some sticker residue on front where they usually put the Chinese sticker (could be a genuine sticker though). No one should bid on this item without additional pictures. Quote:

Currently, AFA doesn't make this mistake, and they denote them as Chinese re-issues. Furthermore, AFA will buy these mistakes back from current owners. AFA gets my respect for this! | |

I don't consider them experts, as I doubt they know more about pre rubs than me, but I do trust AFA over sellers that sell MOSC/MISB items. At least I have piece of mind knowing that the item went through some sort of testing, and the acrylic case helps to protect them. | |

The way i see it there is room enough for TF collectors of all kinds i just wish scumbags would not try to take advantage of less well informed collectors | |
