Default nice catch

You are correct, the card is incorrectly labeled--Smith is not even in the d329 set. SGC is not immune from messing up the Weil cards either. According to their pop reports, they have graded card #7 HD Baird, yet Baird in fact should be #8 in D329 and #10 in D328.

I doubt the label fooled anyone-- apart from the card size the two sets don't look that much alike to those who collect them--only a handful of D329s have an artificial looking background with I believe only one looking similar to a D328 (Strunk). I am also not convinced it was that great a deal, although if you're a set collector and need the card I can understand the price. The card has minor surface issues on the front and scrapbook residue on the back. You are right though, it is less plentiful than the d329.
