Trac&Field is spelled that way because on that slab type (the first of the blue-label slabs, with the bar code on the back) they put the description of the coin in the upper left corner, where the date goes today. Due to this positioning, they were limited in the number of characters to 10.
In that slab version, they spell "Long Island" as "Long Islan", and abbreviate other names as well.

Wow, that's lame. But then I suppose their options were limited. Ten characters ain't much. And "Trac&Field" definitely would've raised some red flags for me the same way it did for others, here. First thing my eye did was stray down to the item location to see if it said something like "Guangzhou City" or something like that.
Aren't there supposed to be two little clear circles at the extreme right and left below the label on genuine PCGS slabs? I don't see them on these pieces.

I have to say... the font does look a little heavy, similar to the fake fonts we've seen the last couple years.
I'm even more undecided on the Gymnastics one.

having a return policy means squat.

The name is LEE!
I'm just making sure by asking for pictures.
Interesting point to know on the field width.

That isn't the case though- they're real.

Here's an example of that type of slab with an abbreviated 10-character spelling of Connecticut.
It would be easy to think some Chinese counterfeiter mispelled it "Connectict" if one didn't know about the character limit.
