They adjusted the description to say:
“UPDATE: Since this auction catalog went to print, we have been contacted with questions regarding this piece, and evidence that other versions of line-up cards from this game exist, also filled out in manager Eddie Mathews' hand. In the interest of complete transparency, we felt we must bring this information to the attention of our bidding clientele, and acknowledge the possibility that this card was created subsequent to the event.”
No mention that the 715 one is in the Hall (so undoubtedly that was the game used one) and that Mathews signature is actually an indication it was not the standard lineup card since he didn’t generally sign them.
A little disappointed in the edit, though better than nothing.
