Well, I believe one could argue that the re-holder would not be caused by a "mechanical error" but rather a hobby correction, thereby making it debatable as to who should pay the cost. As for precedent, I note that for years Mendelsohn's m101-5 set was labeled by the graders as a 1915 issue when it in fact came out the following year, and now you would be hard-pressed to find many slabs still stating 1915. The same can be said for the e135 Collins- McCarthy set, for years incorrectly labeled as a 1916 issue rather than the true 1917 date-- most all have been corrected and/or at least the date of newly submitted cards is now correct. Somehow PSA managed to endure whatever costs were necessary to get it right. I don't see correcting these things as causing major hobby upheaval, and I am unaware of widespread mis-dating.
