So, I do not understand how PSA/DNA would authenticate, unless they witnessed this, as this would not match any known exemplar.
Are these cards "on card" autographs? Topps is still including Musial in sets long after he's died. But the newer Musials are all sticker autos that they put on whatever card they want. Might be the same case with Russell.
