But it is interesting that the Berra is slabbed by Fanatics. So are multiple Musial autos. Fanatics is a huge company who slabs their own cards for sale. I dont know that they have professional graders or authenticators on hand as opposed to a tpg so I don't consider the card to be graded or authenticated.
I am not nearly as well versed on 2000 Greats as you are but if you haven't seen these blue autos before the last couple of years I would guess it's because they didn't sign in blue for Fleer. I would almost guarantee the Musial cards were done years later. If someone got their hands on loads of blanks and has had them signed years later the market for these cards is going to be compromised.

I should have said authenticated by Steiner not certified. The innocent copy and paste error is plausible and Fanatics is a huge company. I would just like to know if the card is original stock where Berra signed in blue or new stock signed by Berra in blue before his death.
