I have a Texas Rangers line-up card that is authenticated by Fanatics Authentic as game used and has the detail of the game in the description. On the MLB authentication website, it is listed as a replica line-up card and the additional information about the game was way off. The date of the game was incorrect on the MLB authentication site. I emailed MLB to make the correction and they did make the correction on the description, but insist it is a replica line-up card.
Fanatics Authentic was the Rangers official game used store. My question is who would be correct? MLB authentication had the description totally incorrect. The lineup card was sold as game used in the team shop (sticker with bar code is on the top loader), but MLB is now saying it is a Replica. From looking at the card, it looks like the real deal. I have not looked at it under a magnifying glass.
Just want to get your thoughts.
Thanks!

Replica, in this case, might mean it's not the official one handed to the umpire.
