The seller knows that it is Heinie. It would be better if he were straightforward and listed the card as a PSA screwup.
PSA should buy the card to fix it. If I had the card in that slab I'd either keep it, as a reminder of not having blind faith in slabbing, or I'd offer it to PSA at a serious price (but less that 1.5k). PSA should jump at the chance of buying it back, but I doubt that they would. And if they didn't, then I'd try to list it on eBay a few times with a high reserve...
Stuff like this makes the hobby seem like a racket to outsiders and newcomers. And that may be a part of what it has become. That's a shame.
If someone had busted the card out of the slab, then listed that card as Honus, what then would we be saying??
