Default wrong pics

OK...so my question is why do they grade all the wrong picture/name combos. For instance, a 1963 Don Landrum, that is actually a picture of Ron Santo, is graded as a "Don Landrum." If they're going to be a stickler on an obvious Ruth, why not on strive for "accuracy" on cards like that? So the take away is that they only grade the printed word, with no regard for the players pictured. Whatever...we all know who the guys are.

Or the flipside....


This is not a Jackie Robinson card. This is a Roberto Barbon card. (as labeled on the card, and as intended for the Japanese players at the time). The card manufacturer just used the wrong photo...
