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 |

You’re not losing it, unless I am too. It didn’t say anything about Rube this morning so they must have gone in and updated it.

No Scott, you're not nuts. We originally had Ruth in the title and description. This thread alerted me to the auction and I updated the description. |

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!

I would like some Board advise. I read and then reread this post with growing concern, for I hold this card in a PSA 8 with a flip clearly stating it's Ruth. I recall buying it off Ebay sometime back and gave no thought that it could be anybody but the Bambino; the red stockings, the distinctive left handed pitching motion and, of course, the PSA pedigree. My baseball stats book reveals the remarkable year Ruth enjoyed in 1917; he went 24-13 with an ERA of 2.01, 35 complete games, 128 strikeouts, etc. I couldn't find much of anything about Rube M. for that year, so it seems logical that Ruth would be the player to grace the stamp. Who knows? Well, I guess PSA does since they now recognize their error. So what should I do, since my copy is now worth less?
1. Nothing. Just keep it the way it is, have a cold one and move on. 2. Quietly return it to PSA for a new flip and do nothing. 3. Loudly return it to PSA demanding compensation for their mislabeling and causing the value to sink. 4. Send it to SGC and cause as much grief for PSA as possible. Any thoughts? |

#3. This is exactly what the Grade Guarantee is about. #4 doesn't make any sense; sure way to lose money on the transaction. PSA is the only one who can/will reimburse you the difference in values.

BTW the board was instrumental in this change, it wasn't some arbitrary whim by PSA. I believe someone here located the photo the image was taken from and it's a perfect match.
