Mark, good post. I'm usually of the opinion that the buyers deserve what they get. But you have me thinking about the part where a collectors wife may buy it thinking they are doing something nice....what a kick in the butt that would be.
But as far as fraud is concerned, I think that would be with the "third-party grader" that authenticatd it. Clearly the grader knows it's not a 1909 card. That's the fraud part. (Maybe that's who you were referring to, not clear). Plus the flip is clearly a knock-off of PSA. PSA could easily force a change there.
Yes I know, the authenticator and seller are likely one and the same.
