I would run away from anything authenticated by rare and signed, including this.

Aren't Rare and Signed COAs supposed to be banned from Ebay anyway?

The certificate looks pretty legit and professional, even has watermarking and an exact high quality photo of the item.

Anyone can do that, regardless of their qualifications or intent.

Here's a list of COAs banned from Ebay. Click on "Certificates of Authenticity and Letters of Authenticity."  You'll see Rare and Signed listed as "not allowed."

that is the idea. the COA is intended to fool unsuspecting buyers into believing the item is authentic.

I see. Glad I didn't purchase it. Seller has just lowered the price even more!

Haha very true. The paper is probably worth more. The listing has been removed. Maybe someone reported it.
