Bad mistake by PSA?

[earlywynnfan]

Someone needs to post a screen shot of this so we can laugh at it forever!

Also, I don't think the seller gets much of a pass, he is blindly following the TPA and not using a single brain cell in listing this.

Here it is.

I love this thread nearly as much as life itself.

The very existence of this item comments on the entire grading industry in so many ways, each of which make me giggle like a school girl.

Or maybe even a school boy...

its probably a ' Mechanical' error, the two names are probably side by side in the computer, Dara entry just clicked the wrong one.

Just like the honus/heinie Wagner t206 card

Malden and Malone COULD be next to each other alphabetically, although Candy Maldonado might complain.

Heinie & Honus actually are next to each other on the Retrosheet list of all time baseball players, and I'm too lazy to think of non-baseball Wagner's who might sneak in between them with first names that start with "Hi".

But, it's nice to know that they don't pay any more attention to Wagner t206 cards than they do to cancelled checks.

You can help them to make excuses if you choose, I prefer to laugh at their "expertise", and enjoy the fact that "data entry" has the final word on identity.

Guess the quality control department is non-existent there too.

I can tell you that my father wanted a signed Honus Wagner baseball that was on offer at his LCS, but wanted a third party's opinion before purchasing. The dealer sent the ball to PSA/DNA and it passed and got a cert. When we typed the cert number into their database, it listed the item as a Billy Wagner signed baseball. We thought there might be some sort of shenanigans afoot, but when we contacted PSA/DNA, they apologized for the error and fixed it.

What a joke.

Yup a joke. See post 13.

I once dated a girl named Dara Entry. We didn't click at all.
