Default Small Traditions Scam of 1990 Topps USA1 George Bush

I just can't believe this world.
Heres the quick story. Small Traditions auctioned off a Pair of Signed 1990 Topps USA1 George Bush Cards. They were both PERSONALIZED. I was the back bidder. This was 4/30/2017.

Joe Orlando at PSA tweeted an image of a 1990 Topps George Bush coming in to PSA on June 5th.

July 2, Today, I woke up and saw a George Bush Signed 1990 Topps USA1 on eBay being sold by Small Traditions. They are asking $49,999 for a 6.5 (The sister card) The PERSONALIZATION is Removed on that card too. The same cards that were sold thru their auction site, months ago.

What I find bothersome is The Auction Company Small Traditions first offered the cards. Kept changing photos of the auction during auction hours and ultimately no close up pictures were attached when the item sold. No close up photos. There used to be. So they were setting this whole scam up.

What I also find bothersome is How can these cards be sent to PSA and not be detected for chemicals of taking the personalization off.
I don't know what to think, but its possible that theres an inside job at PSA.

Do a little digging if you care to, you'll find confirmation of everything stated.
