SGC Got It Right - Ken Griffey Jr. Buyback 2/10

[SyrNy1960]

SGC authenticated this 1997 Ken Griffey Jr. SP Autograph Buyback Card as a 2/10. These cards were actually numbered to 312. Someone obviously erased the actual XXX/312 number and changed it to 2/10, hoping to cash in on big bucks.

It's frustrating that SGC would authenticate this card as a 2/10, just because it was numbered 2/10. If they did a simple search, SGC could have easily found the list of cards and production numbers for the 1997 SP Autograph Buyback Cards, and would have seen that this card was numbered to 312. They should have never authenticated this card. UGH!

The card is currently on Ebay with a Buy it Now price of $8,000 or Best Offer. Credit to the seller that they do explain in the description that these cards were numbered to 312, but it's possible the cards were mis-numbered or originally to be release as a card only limited to 10 made. As you look at the BAE serial numbers listed below, it's obvious this card was one of the 312.

Unless there is proof of that from Upper Deck, it must be treated as someone changing the number to 2/10.
