Interesting. I remember an older post where I think it was Beckett that had slabbed an obviously fake ‘67 Seaver RC.

People to continue to read way too much into grading. As long as it remains an endeavor of the human eye, this kind of thing will continue to happen - even if it is increasingly rare. All the talk about AI accurately grading cards soon may be popular, but I’ve yet to see outside of fairly routine automated tasks (computing centering, for example) how AI can accurately intertwine a technical analysis with eye appeal the way a human grader can. So unless I’m missing something, treating grading more as one person’s or one entity’s opinion makes a lot more sense than so many today who seem to rely on it as the end-all, be-all prounoucement of a collectible’s worth.

CSG should totally reimburse whoever bought that. I’m not sure if they have a guarantee or not, but that would be the right thing to do.
