What do you thinkhttp://www.ebay.com/sch/mtg.trading/m.html?item=221650211795&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l 2562 Hundreds of mint dual lands some without close clear pictures... Looks suspicious coming out of china from a newish ebay account. They look that good??!! Check his feedback.. nothing from the last year. So it looks like he wants to make a quick couple thousands dollars before anyone catches on. I bet the account is stolen.

I'm not an expert; but based on simple visual inspection of the one a volcanic island that account is selling; and a Volcanic Islands I found from google and ebay [such as this one http://www.powernine.com/cardimages/Revised/Dual/40NMEX/VolcanicIsland.4.jpg ] it does appear to lack the distinctive printing pattern associated with MTG cards of that era. HOWEVER, due to the quality of the available image on the ebay listing, I can't be absolutely sure on that claim. There are a few other things that stand out to me - text box clarity, picture sharpness, general color of the card. Again, this is just an opinion I have based on visual evidence that I can see via digital medium [computer screen] based on somewhat inconsistent overall evidence due to older cards having a variety of printing issues. The account you posted though, does look suspect. it should also be noted, that an unlimited trop island is used for the picture of a revised listing - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mtg-1x-Tropical-Island-Revised-Near-Mint-Dual-Land-/221650216340?pt=Trading_Card_Games_US&hash=item339b61e594

The seller is actually located in Brazil. I'm not sure where the China came from. 100% chance this is a scam.

China is listed in the auctions as the "item location"
in the shipping section

If you click on his feedback number, it says the seller is in Brazil, and additionally, the user name was just changed before he started selling magic cards. Hacked account.
