Whoops! Wonder how many times PSA has done this?

YEP! This is a 1953 Canadian Exhibit card

And I have seen reprint Exhibit cards graded as originals!

Here is one from my own collection, which I bought years ago... this is actually a 1980's reprint someone trimmed the "Reprint" mark on the back of the card and then submitted it to PSA.

Here's a pretty embarrassing one. Mistaking a $100 card for a $2.5 million card.

Then there's the time they mislabeled N43 large format Ginters as N28s.

Or the time they graded 1980's Mickey Mantle pins as 1969 MLBPA when he wasn't even in the original set.

Or the time that they graded cards with pinholes as PSA 7s.

Or the time...

If fixed, this mistake goes from a pop 101 to a pop 3...tough to understand how this got missed.

That is inexcusable.

Happens all the time.

This happens too often with Venezuelan Topps cards. Usually labeling US issues as Venezuelan. Here's one example, there's a few in this thread: https://twitter.com/VenezuelaTopps/s...58004602798081

Based on my collection, it is a rare occurrence to have PSA mis-identify a card.

I also have a 1970 OPC Munson RC graded by SGC that has been improperly identified as a Topps card. IMO, far easier to mistake the 70 OPC for a 70 Topps card, than to mistake a 74 OPC card for a 74 Topps card based on the backs.

Out of the 8500 +/- pre-80 PSA cards in my collection, the Crowley is the only mis-identified PSA card via the flip. I have only 150-175 SGC cards in my collection. So having 1 out of 175 misidentified is a significantly higher percent than 1 of 8500.

On my end, it is more common to have the database versus the flip be incorrect.

I have 2 PSA cards that have the correct flip, but PSA has categorized the card incorrectly in their database which loosely translates to I am not able to add these cards to their respective registry. One of these cards is currently at PSA to have their database fixed so that it matches the flip and I can add the card to my registry. The 77 Hostess Lynn's flip is correct, but the database identified the card as a 77 Hostess Twinkies, which it is not. PSA has removed the current cert # and have yet to assign a new cert #.
