How can this happen??

I think even Ray Charles can see this is an FACSIMILE AUTOGRAPH:benson:::facepalm::

Seriously, how the heck does this happen??? (I know its a Hockey card but its just for the discussion as ive seen this happen before in all sports)

I don't get the question. That is a very nice facsimile auto. I don't look at a lot of hockey. Do a lot of these have bad foil flaking? I would have graded it a 10 as well.

Is this a serious question or are you just playing?

this one looks to be cracked with the base chrome put in its place. see the right side. also, the centering is awful for a PSA 10.

Yeah that one is just a complete scam.

Yep, psa one is a scam.

Other times as well BGS has graded facsimile auto cards with auto grades. I remember someone having a McGwire like it.

Yeah that could very well be true. I have been hearing and reading a lot of stories lately with people cracking PSA slabs and replacing the card with a lesser card. PSA might have to look into replacing their slabs one day with something tamper proof.

The way the picture is cropped so closely, it definitely looks like the seller is trying to hide some frosting on the edges.

Ok i know to look for the "Frosting" around the PSA slabs edges, as this is a tell tale sign of possible tampering. The one thing im curious about though is, when these criminals crack a PSA slab and replace the card with a lower condition one, how are they re-sealing the slab?? Crazy Glue or something like that?

Here's a good one:

ALEX RODRIGUEZ 1994 UPPER DECK RC ROOKIE AUTOGRAPH SP BGS 9.5 GEM MINT 10 AUTO

You'll see on the back that it has the "baseball-diamond" hologram of the base card #298 instead of the square hologram that the certified autos have. The card also has a weird looking serial number sticker (doesn't look like any others I've seen).

I guess BGS saw nothing wrong with it.
