I guess some patch cards have been faked but a very easy solution to this would be to scan every card that has a patch and have the images posted on the company website for reference.
ah hah! Finkle is Einhorn and Dave Peters is Brian Gray!

Very easy?
I think it's time you put some thought in to what you are saying.
I guess I should have said scan or take photos of them. I think it would be very easy to do this with like the multi color patch cards.
Inkworks was a comic card company who sadly went out of business but they would scan each of their sketch cards and post them to their website.
Here's the Family Guy ones but they also scanned them for the Shrek set and Hellboy sets and others.

Your still not thinking properly. Patch fakers, which is more widespread then you think, put fake patches in plain GU cards to inflate value over a otherwise vanilla GU card. Very rarely will they take out a patch and replace it with another, it happens but sparsely compated to the GU to patch fakery. Having said that, Topps would need to scan\photo tens if not hundreds of thousands of cards yearly. The time, effort, and money involved to do so would be very great and if done would no doubt increase the cost of product, and that is if it were even possible to reasonably do considering the volume. Least we forget that if done would inherently devalue almost all prior offerings not photo logged for visual confirmation of authenticity.
You seem to be very naive with regards to the things you speak of, might i suggest taking some time to look, listen, and learn the hobby a while before making anymore foolish statments, threads, posts...
1: Buy cards with missing autos, backdoored or pack-pulled.
2: Convince Beckett to list cards as errors.
3: Get Topps to replace cards with auto versions because Beckett said "Go @#$%! yourself!".
4. Grade card then convince forum members that card is super rare because, again, Topps also said "Go @#$%! yourself!".
5. Forum members turn out to be smarter than the average bear. Stay persistent until their brains turn to mashed potatoes, pour the gravy and enjoy!
Well one of the BGS graders said this was not true.
An autograph cannot be removed without leaving some trace according to them.
I also do not think it is possible because why on earth would a company make a product that could be altered so easy?
