Don't buy this if you are looking for a 1941...

assuming someone managed to swap out an UD PB and that PSA didn't blow this.

Perhaps someone's first day on the job?

I am not believing PSA would make that kind of mistake. It could happen but I would have to see some more proof. The holder has to have been compromised or something?

PSA may have heard that a 1941 Play Ball card is not a pre-war card and figured that it could have been issued by a new company like UD.

WOW!!! I'm half tempted to buy that to take advantage of the "Grade Guarantee"......what is SMR on a 1941 Dutch Leonard PSA 6? $55?

[boneheadandrube]

The Cert number is in sequence with the real 1941's the seller has listed...

Maybe someone just got done grading thousands of Pokemon cards during their 90 day training and got this.

I wouldn't put it past them. And that seems too low a value of a card to make cracking out a real card to insert the reprint worth the time and effort. My guess is someone wasn't paying attention that day at PSA.

PSA mistake obviously. Holder isn't compromised who the hell would bother.

[the 'stache]

The real question here is....purple sticker candidate?

[Peter_Spaeth]

Still up there. Must be very difficult to take down.

This mistake is really a stunner. So is CLCT's stock price this year:

Only underperforming the S&P by 51% in five months. Sort of like the quality of their service.

Maybe people are finally starting to wise up.

It's always stunned me that a public company like CLCT which is run so poorly could survive without the people in charge losing their heads. Huge backlogs in grading -- which only serve to lower revenue -- and crappy customer service, driving more revenue away. They have a virtual monopoly in card grading due to their set registry but they have no problem turning huge amounts of revenue away due to their inefficiency and incompetence. And what do you know? The stock price is in the shitter. How'd you like to be a large shareholder and find this information out?
