I think they meant it's a phenomenal looking "poor".
Obviously an error and one they will fix for free if asked.

That's not the first time I've seen that error. They do have the book, don't they?

I saw that as well, and it is so soon after the "Smiling Curt" card. Bad luck, perhaps, but what exactly is going on over there? Phenomenally careless, if you ask me...

Jay - maybe they meant it might get a 1.5 if crossed over to PSA. :D

I feel bad for poor ole George Whitney
BVG thinks he is Art

SGC thinks he is Grasshopper Jim

IMO, there's only one OJ that should be labeled as "Phenomenal Smith" (and it's already labeled as such).
I've seen quite a few cards being called "Phenomenal Smith" when they really shouldn't be.

Somewhat related, this Germany Smith was labeled correctly and now I have managed to find all 5 pose variations. I think I will still continue to collect his cards though.
Somewhat unrelated, I was going to start one of those "Today Aug. 10 was Larry Corcoran's birthday..everyone post your cards" threads, but I decided it may not get much run.

Someone already tried that and it really didn't do so well, someone refused to participate
