they requested the removal in an attempt to cover-up the fact that many resealed packs like this one have been authenticated and slabed.

Thanks for the comments. Still curious if anyone out there with auction house catalogue has any experience or knowledge on the subject?

the copyrights belong to the cards manufacturers or the team that issued the ticket, psa is paid to render their opinion on authenticity and condition only.
The situation with the pack shows you what PSA may do if a situation not to their liking is made public. The pack is real, with topps copyright, but altered!
The only thing that is counterfeit is the opinion rendered by PSA! Instead of acknowledging they'll try intimidation.
