Help: PSA certification number doesn't match card

[GregMitch34]

Have now contacted PSA.

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

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...

thanks, Jason, appreciate it

I'm not positive if this is the same card but years ago I came across a Matty portrait on ebay that also had the second dot in N.Y. (on his jersey) not completely filled in and looked like an "o" just like yours. I do not know if this is a variation or a print flaw but I've never seen another one like it...till yours. Small world or a common flaw, who know??? Either way great pickup!

PSA regularly screws up their flip/card information.
I recommend you submit a message through their customer portal and have them reslab it correctly. They will do it for free if you list it as a "mechanical error". Do a search for "mechanical" on the board and I'm sure you'll find many more threads where PSA has screwed up.
