This is a fake, the fraudster behind it keeps trying to sell fake shikishi from various mangaka. He's done a few that he's tried to pass as Miura's. It's truly despicable.
I've edited your thread title to better represent the situation.
 
No offense man but I doubt any Berserk fan would think that is legitimate Miura art, you can just tell, and even in all of Miuras Shikishi's you can tell it's Miura even when they are quick sketches because of his iconic art style. a lot of the Shikishi's of Guts I've seen are actually really detailed.I'm fine with someone selling something like this but don't put Miuras signature on it.
 
Hey fellow strugglers! :guts:

Beware of these fake shikishis!
Found another fake shikishi being sold on Yahoo Auctions. https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b1023165525

Insane how literally none of these are even close to Miura's artstyle.

At least this way even the casual fans won't be fooled by them (hopefully).

I think many won't bother to scrutinize. The inventory of shikishi items is nebulous, which makes it ripe for exploitation. I would imagine many will bid out of fear of missing out on a rare Miura-signed piece.
