Thanks. Well, i was looking up other Fonseca cards for sale and clicking through for listings from the pop report there were 4 psa graded DS Fonseca’s on Ebay today alone, so clearly PSA is just missing info and the website pop report is in error.

The PSA population report has three separate listings for Diamond Stars Cards: 1934, 1935, and 1936. The Fonseca card is listed in both 1934 and 1935, which is accurate, because the Fonseca card was not issued in 1936.

In the 1935 listing, PSA has Fonseca listed without the '35 Years Old' designation, which is perfectly fine, and is possibly their new way of identifying this card on labels. I see 10 total cards graded, 3 with qualifiers.

In the 1934 listing, PSA has two separate Fonseca listings:

34 Years Old: total of 91 cards graded

35 Years Old: total of 84 cards graded


The '35 Years Old' listing in 1934 is incorrect, and should be moved to the 1935 section listing.
