Double error on PSA's flip of T206 Liefield card

[swarmee]

PSA will correct it for free if you email them with the subject MECHANICAL ERROR and they'll pay shipping both ways. I've probably sent back 15 cards for mechanical errors in the four years I've been grading. Some were OPCs labeled Topps, some were wrong variants, some were wrong card name, etc. Some were N43s that were labeled N28s.

Mechanical error? What do they use robots now? Why not just call it what it is, human error?

Data entry errors happen at all 3 of the major companies. heck i once saw a 1956 tops warren spahn in a 1996 tops chrome allen Iverson holder. Stuff like this doesn't get me all worked up because like i said it is a data entry error. if you saw how the systems are set up its easy to click on the wrong one sometimes. Hell i know i made some mistakes on data entry, and i know a lot. it wasn't through ignorance usually but simple error.

I don't know Leon...I guess it fits.....the workers at PSA are taking for granted that the person submitting the card is actually submitting what they claim to be submitting. They AUTOMATICALLY assumed the card submitted was the card claimed. But yes, you are right...mechanical error...human error....same thing. People (multiple) screwed up.

It is a human error any way you slice it. All companies (by virtue of people) and people make them.

This is a good-natured jibe:

Ted, who is "Liefield?"

Even the best make mistakes!
