While it might technically be accurate, the potential for fraud or deception is so high they really shouldn’t be slabbing something like this without a huge “Not THE Roger Maris” disclaimer in huge letters somewhere (or something similar).
In fact, except in exceptional circumstances why are they even grading cards of players autographed by completely different people in the first place? I mean, if they are slabbing this then what is to prevent someone with the same name as a famous athlete (bet there are a lot of people named “Michael Jordan” out there for example) signing cards of that athlete and getting it slabbed as authentic? This is just stupid.

another technically accurate but somewhat misleading item...... Pete Best who was dumped from the Beatles put this album out in 1966 titled "Best of the Beatles" which included no Beatles songs LOL |

I don't really think the threat of fraud looms large here. The label is a label for a reason. it's meant to be read. It clearly lists who signed the card and I don't really know why anyone who collects Roger Maris wouldn't already be aware he died almost 40 years ago and that this card was not signed by the subject.
