The answer is, unfortunately, yes or probably. I have seen several slabbed cards which feature re-patches and others which have authenticated fake or machined signed autos. Nobody's perfect.
The Orr in question isn't a fake, but the seller has many and has sold many of the highest grades of vintage hockey known, all BVG-BGS graded. Why? Because BVG will grade his older, sheet-cut cards while other graders will not. The pristine Orr is a sheet-cut card. (The seller has also sold a sheet-cut Gretzky RC and several other uber-high-ends). It matters to some collectors and not to others. I, personally, prefer non-sheet cut cards, but to each his own.
Cheers!
