Topps also printed these cards and released them into packs a few years ago:

50 cards were marked TOPPS CERTIFIED AUTO, and were released in packs unautographed. The checklist included dead players like Ted Williams and Roberto Clemente. Theoretically those could be signed by forgers and sent in under TPGs rules and may not be required to be reviewed for authenticity. In this case, most of the TPGs are probably aware, but BGS and PSA have both authenticated autographed cards printed after the deaths of their subjects because they didn't do the research before certifying the cards or autos properly. |
Wow, I didn't know those existed cuz I don't follow modern very closely. I do collect Votto, MiLB and RC, and that would be a funny card to own.
