I know seasoned collectors who have been fooled by these forged/counterfeit versions because the autograph isn't given a second look; it's assumed it's authentic.
PSA has screwed up on a few of these these.
Below is a photo showing where PSA graded a counterfeit Koufax.
Note that they didn't authenticate the autograph; they only graded the card.
But that in itself fools buyers; buyers assume because the card is slabbed by PSA, that they also certed it.

I have wondered sometimes looking at some of the 2003-04 UD Legendary Signature cards.
