What's up with the slab label, was it photoshopped?

This gem is the epitome of perfection. It is one of the "first-strikes", meaning that they it was one of the first coins stuck with fresh dies. This makes the details are especially sharp, the fields completely clear and mirror-like, and as perfect as any piece you will ever find.

I wonder if somebody should tell the seller that all the modern silver proof Kennedys look like that?

Hey Joe, I was trying to be sarcastic.... don't worry, I didn't believe it.

Usually the slab company and label are used as selling points. Looks like he's embarassed about his slab. What's up with that?
