Of course the guy who OK'd it was lackadaisical, negligent and needlessly cocky. But that was one person- who I would wager is no longer employed by Spence (I don't know for sure, however).
As an FYI, the employee who OK'd it - Larry - is still with JSA. I saw him at the Boston show last week. I know him from years ago and he is great with autographs - we actually both got started by collecting autographs together at Fenway Park and the various Boston hotels in the '80s - he just got caught in a really bad setup and looked horrible in the process.
