Ugh, where do I start?

PSA's work on Latin American issues is abysmal. Often, they write Spanish gibberish. Like this Pele:



1968 Crack Figuritas Deportivas (not "sport"; PSA "Bob" Clemente'd the name) and this particular type of insert card is called a "foto autografiada". It also isn't hand-cut. They came from the pack this way. The backs are puzzles.

SGC plain doesn't know WTF they are doing, even when the submission slip correctly labels the card:



1953 Canadian Exhibits, eh. See that little # by his front foot? The USA cards don't have that.

Then there's the old, bad information that the TPGs never correct. The '1948-52' Exhibit Champions and the '1948' HOF set were issued into the mid-1950s. Here's a page from a 1955 Exhibit catalog:
