No, they grade unofficially autographed cards like this now. It looks a tad short to me though.

A certified auto isn't considered a Mark. A piece of paper glued to a card should be treated as making the card Authentic; it's just like if you submitted a card still affixed to a scrapbook page.

So by that logic a nice card with a fake autograph could still grade a 10....

Not true. A fake auto would be either ungradeable or a MK. Probably ungradeable. A card signed by the player has a special exemption status instead of a qualifier.

PSA is Humpty Dumpty: it is what it is until PSA says otherwise.
