I have to say- I had a thought about something like this being possible with the overprints of certain caramel cards (what's stopping someone from getting an Old Put or Toy Town stamp), as well as some of the ghost imagery we've seen on many T206 cards. Is any mechanism in place to ensure stamps (and ghost prints, etc) are genuine? I've seen cards with crazy printing freaks slabbed Authentic in the past- suppose someone buys a raw, REAL card, prints/stamps something less than authentic on it (ie- American Beauty logo, Toy Town, etc), and submits it for slabbing- the card, technically, is Authentic. Will it come back graded? Authentic? Not slabbed at all? Supposing a "fake" stamp on a real card ends up in an Auth slab- how can future buyers know it's not "real?"
I've always wanted an overprint caramel card but I have to say- this sort of thing makes me very nervous.
