These T206's were very professionally altered, and these cards (initially) fooled many collectors, and even the Grading Co's.
Fortunately, there were some of us T206 collectors who instantly recognized that these T206 cards were fakes because their
front / back combos were impossible
Here is a list of some the examples of these FAKES.....

Matty (portrait) with a SOVEREIGN 460 back (PSA graded)
Green Cobb with a red HINDU back
Green Cobb with a CYCLE 350 back
Johnson (pitching) with BROAD LEAF 350 back

Only thing that is similar to the Young situation is that these are all T206s and none should have been graded otherwise the grading of this very obvious reprint is really in a class by itself.
