Maybe the next auctioner should include a free bottle of "Kurt's" with it as an incentive for the winner to turn it into a thing of even greater beauty (translation: a higher grade number) for when it's his turn to inevitably auction it off. Highly doctored scans will no longer be necessary.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

I discovered something interesting today. Or rather someone else pointed it out to me.

On the FTC website (linked below), in regards to his settlement, it reads "The settlement with Cohen announced today further bans him from making misrepresentations in connection with the sale of goods or services." Perhaps this is why he was so overly sensitive when I called him out on it?

I can see how someone would be sensitive to those allegations, given a $10M sword of Damocles hanging over his head tied to that phrase.

I doubt JP is worried about a 21 year old settlement.

Along the same lines as the OP, here's a card in the Mile High Extra Innings auction where the scan doesn't match the reality.
