...This is really nice work..
....I can just imagine some little kid , back during the depression , sitting at the kitchen table with the radio on in the background playing the Cardinals game ; it's been so carefully colored in that one is reminded of a young Bob Lemke playing with his first Photoshop software , with a young patent attorney patiently reading him the copyright laws.

I would agree Mike.
If you are going to make "oversized" items one of your niches by having holders your competition doesn't - you need to be able to recognize an issue like this.
Just one man's opinion.

Are you guys saying Beckett couldn't tell it was colored in with a crayon?

.....yup ; but in their defense it's so well done that it looks to be factory-issue. More than likely the kid used an Artist Colored Pencil..
.....and the class thing to do would have been an $18 refund or a voucher for a future sub. IMO
