Are those Mint on Card figures of the original line?  And how can I get my hands on them now that the original owner doesn't need them.

I knew it was fake the moment I read:

It’s not immediately clear whether the collection included generation one characters or the Twenty-fifth anniversary editions.
Generation One?!  Who calls them that?
Nice collection pictures though, I hope they got permission to use those from whoever the real collector is.
