Anyone seen one of these before, know if it is legit?

I'm not interested in buying it, I've just never seen something like this before. Note that the back of the display lists eight companies that have supposedly authenticated it. I've never seen authentication like that before - simply stated "these guys authenticated it".
Anyone familiar with these or "superbreaksports"?
I actively collect Kirby Puckett. I have collections of Michael Jordan, Emmitt Smith, Roberto Clemente, Dwight Gooden, Tom Seaver, Errict Rhett and Evan Longoria.

Why would it be PSA/DNA authenticated if there is no autograph?
Why would Kirby have a game used bike?
I really like this Dimaggio autograph that has been authenticated by PSA/DNA, Topps. Panini, Upper Deck, JSA and a couple others.

PSA/DNA also authenticates photos, bats, gloves, rings, trophies etc
I found a listing with this card about a year ago. I wondered the same thing. I figured it was just a mechanical error, and ended up buying it anyway, as I was considering cracking it out and using it for my raw set. I have since seen examples of multiple cards (not many, but more than just a couple) with the PSA/DNA designation, but no autograph.
those are the extremely rare invisible ink autographs. I think they call it invisiink
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Sigh... they are not saying its autographed; they are saying the piece of memorabilia - the Nike patch - has been certified by all those companies as being authentic, game used piece of whatever.
By the responses(and logic), I am guessing its bogus.

How would someone go about getting something like that "authenticated" by all of the companies listed on the card? If it were possible to do so, just the cost of having it authenticated would be much more that what they are trying to sell it for. I wouldn't want that piece in my collection even if it were given to me.
I don't recall ever seeing any player ride a bike around the bases after his at bat.
Could the '66 McCovey be signed on the back?

I thought perhaps that very same thing. It is not signed on the back, though. Also, the few graded cards that I have seen with back signatures will have that side of the card displayed with the signature facing forward with the flip. I bought the card because it was a decently centered high number that I still needed at the time for my raw set. I was going to crack it out, if need be. I picked up a second McCovey in a raw lot before it was all said and done, so it became unnecessary to do that.

My first thought too...
