IMO, the litho is not good. Why? Because there are things about the autos that look off. Most people on the forum will not go into details as to why for a couple reasons.
1) No one wants to educate scammers on how to make their forgeries better
(not saying you a scammer, but you are kidding yourself if you don't think scammers watch sites like this, and others, to get tips on how to make their scams work better.)
2) No one wants to get into an argument with someone about about their opinion on an auto. If I say, I don't like the slant on a letter, then someone else chimes in they like it and now there is a back and forth about it. It's been done in the past. It's gotten messy and after a time, we just stopped doing it.

As Kevin pointed out, there are multiple differences between the good ones you posted and yours.

We each have our reasons for saying what we do. You can either trust the expertise of those here or not. No one here owes anyone else an explanation. Heck, even if you send to PSA and they fail it, they wont give you any explanation other than their standard form letter about flow, pressure, formation, etc.
It really shouldn't be a shock for someone to question why you are sending it in after pretty much everyone chimed in that it was bad. I guess it would make more sense to us if you got mixed opinions and waned a tie breaker. I am sure you can see why it might come off a little insulting to have everyone give he same opinion and then you disregard it.

Also, Just remember, that PSA does not certify or guarantee an item is authentic. They offer opinions only, just like us. Even then, you have no idea who actually is giving it. Is it a kid who just got hired 6 months ago or someone with 20yrs experience? No one knows.

BTW, I agree with you, the three you posted in that single message yesterday are all bad.
