Well, it looks like PSA is still mislabeling the 1917 Youth's Companion Rube Marquard, as Babe Ruth. Here's one in an upcoming Heritage auction:

The example in heritage is not in the newest holder/flip combo but in the exact style that was being issued when this thread was started so this is not proof of anything but that they made this error in the past. Not sure if they still are or not but this example in heritage does not prove they still are making this mistake. See they no longer make this error good for PSA.

In fact, by looking up the Cert #, PSA has corrected it on their end:
https://www.psacard.com/cert/24819256/

ITEM INFORMATION
Certification Number 24819256
Label Type Hologram*
Reverse Cert Number/Barcode No
Year 1917
Brand YOUTH'S COMPANION STAMPS
Sport BASEBALL CARDS
Card Number
Player RUBE MARQUARD
Variety/Pedigree STAMPS
Grade EX-MT 6

However, this card would need to be sent in for reholdering. The auction house should probably be notified that they're selling a mislabeled card. They could get it reholdered for the consignor for free as a mechanical error and then sell it properly.

I have a bigger issue with Heritage listing it the way they have.

The Heritage listing says

"years ago this was thought to feature an image of Babe Ruth but has since been proven to be Rube Marquard"

They are not representing it as a Ruth they are telling you flat out its Rube Marquard

They just added that statement today. When I posted my comment, this statement by them, wasn't there. I also sent a message to Heritage, highlighting the issue to them. I got a response this morning from Peter Calderon, where he told me they were aware, and had updated the description.

Regarding the holder, I thought it was a newer holder.....my mistake.

Steve

I just saw Peter's response in this thread. Thank you Peter, for the fast response!
