I think it's safe to say both. Any future listings for auctions or sales would likely list both designations for at least a decade if it was to happen as well as the TPGs would need to provide reslabbing to help the new classification. That doesn't mean I think it's a bad idea, if they are candy cards it's historically important. You could take it to the next step and ask if they should have an e-card catalog number? There is no current number due to the thought they are scraps. Without the e-number, I don't see acceptance outside an inner circle they are candy cards, but that would be a long shot.

My remarks were in what I believe to be the common excuses, I do not think it's insurmountable. The grading industry has numerous misidentified cards, this is simply just one of many they are ignoring. The entire industry is loathe to change and tend to hide their heads in the sand on these issues regularly.
