Considering who the seller is, good luck getting it pulled, Why do I have the feeling that with the amount of traffic (i.e. money) Probstein generates it'll mean nothing to eBay. After all, Beckett did "certify" the AU.

I wonder if the process is different if the AU is applied after-market instead of pack-issued? I've seen many other slabs were Beckett has an AU sticker on it and, from what I can remember, they were all pack issued AUs. Of course, I don't do graded and if I get a slab, I have a pair of scissors and a screwdriver ready to go.

If I'm looking at them correctly, those are slabs from two different Beckett services. The second example is "Authenticated" and the one in the first post is "Graded".

I am confused as to what you feel is wrong with that card. It is graded by a reputable grader. Beckett gives almost all company obtained autographs a 10. The Ohtani you referenced about the way they mark auto'd cards is only used for fan obtained autos. They do not grade fan obtained autos only authenticate. The card it self even says it is an autographed card. Also the grade is inside the case and would be very hard to change without obvious damage.

The problem that is being pointed out is the card being listed is a REPRINT of a card that was an original AU card. Being a reprint the AU is just afascsimile of the real thing; there is no real AU on this card. Some of us are just being snarky.

Correct, the card is a REPRINT. The Earnhardt card does NOT have the Beckett logo on it either, only the 10 sticker says Beckett. That can be taken from some other source.

I was as confused as Mattdamick, so I looked up the card on our site to see the scan of the back. It makes more sense now. For those like me who don't collect these, in 2003, Wheels reprinted some of their old Earnhardt cards with a red and black frame. Basically a "Cards Your Mom Threw Out" from Topps baseball for comparison. The inner part of this card is a reprint of his 2001 card. He died in 2001, so he couldn't have possibly signed this.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.
