So they grade facsimile autos now? That's great

So what idiot is going to buy it thinking it's real?

bmp1971 · Jun 30, 2015

Proof of how little time they actually spend examining each card. But, gotta have it slabbed! Can't trust anyone else! LOL

Short answer: This idiot.

Long answer: I was recently thinking about adding a 2001 Bowman Chrome Pujols to my collection. During my search, I saw this card, and thought it was pretty cool; parallel versions of an Auto/RC that didn't originally have them. I knew it wasn't a 2001 issue, but I just assumed it was like a RC Reprint Autograph (similar to 01 Archives, etc). My knowledge is pretty extensive on cards 2001 and earlier. I haven't paid much attention to newer issues the past 14-15 years. I'm not a genius, but this is a newer issue card, that BGS graded the auto... i could see how a non-idiot would think they are getting a legitimate autograph.

To your credit the owner took the pic at a crappy angle to make it hard to tell.

I think calling a buyer an idiot is a little harsh. I had to take a double take on that. I would expect the great BGS to catch that

You sir are commended for your honesty.....

That is actually less embarrassing than the Pujols, to me. The Luck is an obvious mistake, but the Pujols makes it seem like the grader couldn't actually tell the auto was printed on the card.
