W551
All the W551 cards with blue captions are Larry Fritsch reprints. I have seen other blue captioned cards graded before...it makes you wonder about TPG abilities to spot a non-authentic.
As to the question why someone would do this with a $75 card? I believe that the most likely scenario is that whoever sent it in originally bought it thinking it was authentic, then PSA 'authenticated' the reprint. So most likely the seller believes that he has an authentic card...why not, a TPG authenticated it.
That is why in my original post I expected that PSA do their job a little more thoroughly.
