1989 Fleer Randy Johnson #381 Marlboro Errors - 30 Years Later

Case in point for buying the card and not the label -- particularly for this card. I'm not sure how anyone could label this one as Ad Obscured. Regardless I'm very happy with the non-preferred label discount.

Very nice pick up.

I have two Randy's at PSA currently (since 2/2021) and both would qualify for their "ad on scoreboard" label but both have received "ad partially obscured" labels. Even after submitti ng a request for correction, PSA has doubled down.

Same here - although I have not had them double down yet...I reported the error on the cards, and they haven't moved...been there over a year now.

1st in the sub had "ad blacked out" note

2nd in the sub had "ad on scoreboard" note

Sent the correction request for the 1st one and PSA changed them both to "ad partially obscured" which suggests to me that they felt confused by them and took a lazy way out. I emailed in reply to their "we have reviewed your requet" email and they have not updated them. Order has since moved to assembly.

Imagine if someone at that company took the time to learn about this card.

This sounds awful but similar to experiences I've had getting these graded. Did they ever revise the labels after receiving your email? I hope it worked out for you.

No reply to the email. Order moved to QA2 five or six days ago. Looks like they are committing to them. I will probably try again once they are in hand.

I have another 6-7 (various visibility of letting and cowboy) ready to go but hesitate due to the fact that buyers seem to be purchasing the slab regardless of accuracy. A “partially” notation is a loss of death if you’re looking to sell.

I am dealing with a similar situation/timeline - just had an order move to Q1 recently that includes 7 Marlboro Randy's - all of which I disputed as an error when they came back "Ad Partially Obscured."

No luck in them revising the labeling either...can't wait to get these back in hand, and then find some recent ones that have been floating around out there that say ad visible that are actually less visible than the ones they have of mine.
