Need help from Carcassonne Detectives.

[chris6507]

Hi everyone, i'm still on a quest to find the original printing of the winter edition to go with my Gingerbread Man expansion and after being stung twice by buying bootleg copies, hoping some of you amazing detectives might be able to help me identify whether a listing on ebay is legit or bootleg again? There's a few photos that might help or you might have a suggestion on questions I could ask or photos to request? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is the listing:

I think the best think you can do is to order new Winter edition 2022/2023, which is still only in French, Romanian and i think also in Bulgarian language. But French edition is also available in Canada (States).

Then you will have 100% original of the game (with River and with winter gardens)

Also Chinese and Korean, per https://wikicarpedia.com/car/Collections_and_Expansions#WinterEdition.

…after being stung twice by buying bootleg copies…

Want to sell the bootlegs?  I don’t need meeples nor the box—just the tiles.

This one looks legit to me. I haven't seen fake versions of German Winter Editions I think, only in English.
From what I can tell from the pictures, it looks real
