Default #1 set on PSA registry has fakes!

CORRECTION: The Probstein listing calls this the #1 set on the registry, but it doesn't appear to be.

For those of you who don't know the difference between the 1969 MLBPA pin set and a related 1983 unlicensed reboot, the new article on the SABR baseball cards blog provides several.

Among the most evident is that the authentics have the player name on the bottom, not top.

So yes, the "#1 All-Time Set on PSA Registry," as described in the listing, currently consigned to Probstein, has a fake Clemente that PSA slabbed as a 9.

This feels like a gigantic miss, and it's particularly odd that the collector himself wouldn't have known this, given that he took the trouble to assemble ostensibly the top set in the world.

I contacted Probstein to let him know. My guess is the auction will come down. Right? [emoji15]
