What would you call that. I think Ken Golden has heard about this as well.
Remember these cards are being sold as being an authentic autograph.

The signature is a proxy.

However, the player committed fraud if he entered into a contract to provide authentic autographs, and he provided proxy signatures instead.

How much was the seller asking for it?

Now it is proxy. He did just what other players have done over the years. They where paid to sign and they had some one else do there job. If you want some of the most famous players in the history of sports to go to jail I am with you. Let us throw HOF baseball football and basketball players in for fraud.

What if I where to tell you that the company knew that it happened and did nothing. I know for a fact at least a dozen or more players did what I said. It was a joke. Just like auto companys cheaper to let people die than to spend the money to what is right.
People own autographs signed from sisters brothers and friends. They belive there authentic because companys say they are good.
Just remember the HBO special. One card sold for 80,000 dollars because UD said it was good.
