The items submitted had the original certification markings removed. So they appeared as only having a certificate known to be bad - what 99% of the time? More? Who wouldn't simply reject those without looking at them?
So you're saying that if you were an authenticator you'd spend time actually looking over an autograph with a Morales cert?
Seems like a waste of time to me.
If they wanted to make it a real test they would have later on resubmitted the items without the Morales certs and seen how many got rejected.
But even then I'd be pretty acepting of an error on the side of caution.
They also didn't follow the entire path of the ones from someone else supposedly being stickered without a look. If the person bringing them in is known to have done a private signing, or run a show then the items are most likely good. And pre stickering them is efficient. They never said that they saw the letters being printed without a look, or even that the items didn't get looked at after the stickering.
