Is this seriously what card graders are doing now...

[camlov2]

From what I read online the autographs are real, are you saying that isn't the case? I don't collect modern cards so I don't know either way.

Hey Brian, what do you mean? Like this wasnt produced with the player signing these, this set at least. It's a fascimile for this set. I don't see another signature

I don't know about this set in particular but I guess bowman chrome includes cards with real and printed signatures. The sellers pictures don't really help.

Here is a post I found talking about the difference-

So blue ink is a true signature and black is printed?

Here's another Freeman that's also slabbed by Beckett but doesn't list that its signed.
Are they the same?

A good checklist is here, Freeman isn't in the autograph set.

So unless it's on the back that's a big mistake.

I know we are talking about 2 different authenticators/companies...

PSA/DNA slabbed authenticated Ty Cobb laser printed fake.....

read all about Spence's so called "experience" farther down the blog under "Pillars of Integrity"

"Before James Spence became an authenticator he worked as a fitness instructor at Club Med and for Cunard Cruise Lines, as a salesman for American Van Equipment and as a ladder salesman..."

he may have more experience selling Ladders

The bgs pic is a facsimile. Freeman does not have an autographed version for the set. Emailed seller and he said "its on the right right,.and that's why it say jsa.". Haha what a joke

The scan is awful but it looks like there might be a smeared signature in blue ink running vertically along the right side of the card. It almost blends right into the outfield wall.

Maybe a clumsy in person signature, I don't know.

an authentic fascimile maybe???
