Default 1887 N172 Old Judge Error? (Plus a PSA screwup)

Posted By: Judge Dred (Fred)

Here's a version of a Stearns, Des Moines card that seems to have all the correct information on the card but PSA spelled the name wrong on the label. Basically - "what John said..."

Definition of blasphemy following:

SGC also makes errors on these cards.

Ok, I said it. Believe me, I'm not taking a defensive stand on the PSA side (hardly). I'm just trying to point out that none of the grading companies really know how to truly handle the N172 offering of cards. They can't correctly date them. They don't catalog them with regard to any accepted catalog (the Brit book) criteria available and IMO they don't emphasize the most important facet (image) of the card when they grade them.

By the way, I have a couple of cards of a player with the nickname "Cannonball" (there were a few players with this nickname) and the flip on it only lists the player's name as Cannonball. I about crapped my pants laughing when I got them back from the grading company.
