    as far as I know there is no KO of Skywarp and REd Alert..so those could actually be legit. THe Sludge however could be a KO.

    the MIB Prime looks autenthic as far as the box shows.

    I'm thinking he got ahold of some original MISB Skywarps and Red Alert, some plastic boxes and printed AFA stickers (which he printed, when you work or have access to a profesional printing press you can do anything).

    No, he just stole the pictures from another seller, I think his user ID is grandpa-s_old_shoebox.

    It has to be a stolen account. The grading would cost more than the auction. Report it to EBay.
