PSA 10 E98 Wagner mistake

[RUSH2112]

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.

Glad to see that this blatant error was fixed quickly and aggressively. I'm certain the issue of having to buy back a six-figure card was a non-factor in making an expedient resolution to the situation.

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.

My mistake, I was looking at the cards as being offered as the "Black Swamp Find" on the Heritage website. I had no idea there were 3 Wagners.

Not much information online or otherwise about this find other than they were found in the Black Swamp area of Ohio and found under a doll house in someones attic. Lots of online links to Auction house but the small amount of information that is there is copy and pasted from other websites.

Looking forward to seeing it in Baltimore

When I was speaking with Joe O he told me that what is almost as amazing as the PSA 10 of Wagner is the fact that many of the PSA 9 Cobbs would have been 10s if not for their centering. This find will make National news wires soon. I am excited about it for our whole hobby's sake. It will undoubtedly help raise awareness (in a positive light) for our hobby. All passionate collectors and hobbyists should be happy about that.
