Wormy art

This doesn't make sense to me. Why would they make sticker art much larger than the original sticker artwork? Does anyone else think this seller is incorrect and that this is an acetate for the 4th series puzzle sheets? I mean, it even looks just like the puzzle.

“never seen one of these for sale from the original series'.”
With the words Heritage Auctions clearly visible in the picture. :-\

Almost certainly for the checklist puzzle, as it doesn’t have a black border, same as those acetates.

I've heard of flipping for 20%, maybe even 100%, but 2700%+

He only paid $180 for it back on December 5th.

Gotta love the description in the current listing too:

I have been a Wacky collector for a few decades, excluding the time I collected as a kid, and never seen one of these for sale from the original series'.  Then again I do not collect this type of Wacky Memorabilia.  Was not able to find any previous sales so I have no idea what this is really worth.

Well, at least we know what it's NOT worth...but he doesn't.

Are we thinking ignorance? Or greed? The fact that he paid $180 for it and is now asking $5,000 makes me think greed…
