They responded that " the holder had not been compromised and that the auto was clearly authenticated as designated on the flip'. Funny enough, the card sold for a ridiculous sum and 6 months later was in a mid-major auction house popular on this forum. I again emailed that auction house and tried to explain the same issues. They also responded that the auto was clearly deemed authentic by PSA. It sold for even more dough. So I took it to the CU forums to hopefully educate some people. CU responded by giving me one month vacation. I gave up at that point.... My new belief system is that if you can drop four or five figures on a picture of a dude, you can take a little time to learn not to be a sucker.

It's clear that the grade is not for the autograph and I'm amazed (not really) that both Leland's and Probstein would sell it. A simple review of the pop report shows that the card doesn't exist in the pop report as autographed, corroborated by the lack of autograph notation on the flip. What a joke!
As for the fake T206s, at this point I also have little empathy for the buyers. The cards jump out of the screen as fake. But this is the hobby and collectors are salivating at the prospect of getting a raw card at a cheap price.
