UD always had a few signed cards to be used for replacements in addition to the actual run. They probably just failed to number the card at all and hence it was open for any number. Surprised it was not numbered 1/1 if indeed it was sent out with no number.
No way the original number was removed IMO. The spot on the card where the # is shows no signs of removal.
At any rate, UD verified that it was a buyback to me although they never responded with the actual number assigned as they probably have no idea so SGC did nothing wrong IMO. It is a legitimate autograph and has a 2/10 number on it that possibly did come that way from UD.
It is certainly not worth $8K but is worth more than the regular numbered ones sell for.

Randall,
Agree with most of what you said. Possible replacement card, not numbered, and someone added the 2/10. None of the 1997 SP Autograph Buyback Ken Griffey Jr.'s are numbered to 10. That is a fact. It is not a legit 2/10 buyback card. However, I understand what you're saying, SGC only put the 2/10 on the holder label, because it's on the card. Feel bad for the person who thinks it's a legit 2/10 and pays big $$$ for it.
