PSA 10 E98 Wagner mistake

[CobbSpikedMe]

It's nice to hear they fixed their mistake. And kudos to all on the board who saw the overgraded card in the slab and spoke their minds regarding the inconsistency of the grade and the card. Well done everyone. And what good eyes you have.

Thanks Leon for posting this, and good job Chris and Joe O!

Good to hear about respect for Heritage. I have not dealt with them on cards yet but they did a handle a rare book this year very well and now I have a bunch of more "literary" lots and rock and roll lots (including a John Lennon letter to me) coming this fall so glad to hear about their honesty and transparency.

I feel compelled to say it again...I've been in the hobby for 30 years and this really could be the best find I've ever seen. If there's a better one I don't remember it.

Not a small mistake. But glad they fixed it. Just a crazy story.

Still makes one wonder how many of these 'mistakes' happen. Such a big $$ card gets messed up??? Nice to see it resolved - but.....

That card is un-f'nbelievable!!!! Absolute stunner!!! Obviously a 6-figure card, just how high is high though??

This story is getting a little confusing.

So that means the PSA 10 Wagner card was put in either the PSA 8.5 Collins holder or the PSA 8.5 Harry Davis holder by mistake. Right or wrong?

Also, why were some put in the old style holders and some in the new style?

Yup, Joe Orlando is going to take action on this issue....

Joe (to his staff): Did someone put a card graded PSA10 in a PSA8.5 holder and a card graded PSA8.5 in a PSA10 holder?

Staff: Yes

Joe: How did this happen?

Staff: We couldn't tell the difference between the two cards.

Joe: Oh, ok.

It is not confusing to most folks since the pop report clearly shows there are 2 PSA 8.5 Wagners and 1 PSA 10 Wagner. (Why are you looking at other players?) The ops folks picked up an 8.5 (which was correctly bashed on the board) and put it mistakenly in the 10 holder. I have no idea why different type holders were used, if they were, as I didn't look. And whomever said it was a BIG mistake is correct. Joe O. thought so too.

And btw Fred, on this mix up it was quite obvious the card in the 10 holder, and first shown on the board, didn't meet a 10 criteria with the bump to the back, bottom corner. Otherwise I have to agree with you on being able to tell the highest grade cards from each other.
