Can anyone figure out what this clown is trying to sell?

I sent him a message asking him exactly what a "genuine facsimile" is. It sounds like an oxymoron to me - some kind of moron anyway!!

This seller is unbelievable. $45 for a minisheet that I can't give away at $2!!!

Forgeries are forgeries and not worth $90 !! Even though they are the VR proof variation.

They are produced in Mass by the Sheet. I bought a sheet some years ago for € 2.00

Yes, I realized that! I was just commenting on the strange oxymoron used to describe the set (Genuine facsimile) and the huge price for a set of "fakes".
