I was looking at some Olt cards and saw this

Mike Olt 2010 Bowman Chrome Orange Refractor Auto RC 25 BGS 9 5 10 | eBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mike-Olt-2010-Bowman-Chrome-Orange-Refractor-Auto-RC-25-BGS-9-5-10-/221699147124?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item339e4c8574)

Is this a gold label with a silver "10" auto or is that just the light, also how come it has JSA on it? Not sure I've seen this before.

JSA has a deal with BGS where they authenticate autographs and slab them in tandem. Likely the person who slabbed it just sent a whole bunch of cards through that JSA/BGS system (which is a huge waste of money on cards like the one you linked), but maybe that is just what they desired or they got an incredible 'group rate'. As for the color I don't think it is the light, it looks silver - no clue why.

The chip is silver because that is what color JSA uses. It looks as if they had JSA authenticate the sig, and then had BGS grade the card. It graded gem, so BGS had to use the gold label for that part of it.

so weird, thanks guys. I was just wondering if it was some thing where it was a regular ref and they had an IP sig that some loophole allowed JSA/BGS to authenticate.
