Is there anything on these autographed buybacks that distinguishes them from just a normal card receiving an in-person auto? I see a checklist with 2950 cards and 2949 of them have the wrong card # listed, and it looks like other inserts from this set are just slabbed cards from other companies.

If you go into the one card with images (photos, ugh!) and look at the uncropped image, the flip and everything is NOT unique to this product. If that card's image is correct for this set, they should not be listed here as they are simply repackaged cards (it would be like listing "Fairfield" as a brand here).

Agree. Looks like nothing was done to the actual cards to distinguish them as buybacks. No different than if they had put them in a toploader closed with a sticker.

According to Cardboard Connection the Autograph Buybacks and Rookie buybacks are cards that are encased in ITG cases only, there are no markings on the cards themselves. So basically if they were busted out of the case we wouldn't know they were buybacks. I am with the others here and suggest both inserts be removed.
