Help: PSA certification number doesn't match card

[doug.goodman]

Too bad you didn't ask these questions (and "wonder even more") before you bid on (and won) the item.

I'm just looking for answer to the question: in your experience, have you found that PSA rarely, sometimes or often got back (and maybe other info) wrong in its certification records? Or do very few people even check on that when they bid on or buy a PSA card?

[Peter_Spaeth]

The question here is why the database reports ANY back for a card from this era of grading, since the flip does not identify the back and from the surrounding certs, the backs of the cards submitted with this one weren't recorded in the database either. That's what you need to find out. Good luck. Why you are resisting a simple communication with PSA is beyond me.

Have now contacted PSA.

This comes up correctly when I search it. Are you sure you entered it correctly?

[glynparson]

Oh I see it’s not a sovereign but says sovereign. I think it somehow got updated from a listing and the incorrect info got added as fact. Wh

Just a guess.

[GregMitch34]

Glyn, why would it get updated (and if so, incorrectly)? It still says Sovereign, not Piedmont. And a previous reply is incorrect: There are in fact a couple of other HOF t206s with certified numbers just before this one that do include back info. Others do not. Inconsistent, but some others do have it in same time frame. I still don't see how and why it should be listed as Sovereign unless 1) card was swapped out later for same card in Piedmont (which also appears a bit short)....or 2) just human error, but if so how often has anyone seen such?

Greg, not sure if this helps but I have a Piedmont 150 Matty that too had an early flip; It now resides in a SGC holder. After reading this thread, I ran a search on the old PSA cert number and it too came up as an Sovereign. Also notice how "short" it looks in the holder; it does the same in the now SGC holder in which they graded as a 2 also. Hopefully this relieves your worries...
