Why would Psa grade a counterfeit?

I don't think they did it on purpose as there is human error involved even with grading companies you could mistake a fake for a real card.

The more they grade the more money they make. I don't think people understand how common this is. Always double check before you buy any card!

Thanks for posting the pictures here. They don't show up on the other site for some reason (for me).
I had assumed that it was the logo from reading the site but its nice to have it verified.

Don't they still charge you, even if they return the card ungraded due to counterfeiting?
