How does this happen?

If this doesn't help confirm why you are here at PSA, the best in the business, I don't what will.

But it is a very nice facsimile autograph. LOL

Sadly, this is not the only example of BGS authenticating a printed-on facsimile auto. There was another thread showing a different card that had the same problem from BGS not too long ago

I know mistakes happen but that one wants to make me LOL.

Thanks Mike. It made me LOL too.

I didn't know if we could post BGS cards on here, so that's why I posted the link and didn't include the picture.

I don't buy or even look at BGS cards that much, but I'm pretty sure they just have a stack of pre-made holders that have the 9.5/10(auto) ready to go. "You get a 10, you get a 10, he gets a 10....EVERYBODY gets a 10!!!" Handing them out like candy on halloween.

Don't think so - they've been posted many times.

The departure? If one were to disparage the Beckett name - but to point out an error?

Fair game IMO.

Here's a classic one from PSA from years ago:

Yup,it was a Michael Jordan Collector's Choice Gold Signature parallel card.

Strike 2 on this one = The lower left corner looks a bit un-natural for a deckle, almost like a tear is involved.

Here's another fun one...good for 4SC
