"1965 Swedish Candy Clay" now "1968 Dutch Gum Clay"??

I was curious to see this listing on eBay this morning.

Is this accurate? Should this now be considered a 1968 issue, rather than 1965? I don't know enough about it to say either way, but would love to hear what others think.

The seller's comments about PSA moving the 1965 Clay pops, into the 1968 Dutch Gum listing, seem to be accurate.

I think it's this set.

Yep Peter, that's it - I am wondering why PSA no longer is referring to it as 1965 Swedish Candy. The reference to that set seems to be gone from the PSA pop reports entirely.

I don't think there is a Swedish Candy set. As you know PSA has countless date and labelling errors, I am just surprised they fixed one. People are continuing to sell 1973 Michael Jackson cards as his rookie due to PSA mislabeling it 1969, for example, drives me crazy. And I love all the Elvis cards dated 1950, years before he performed.

The card is listed by TPGs and some guides as a 1965 Swedish card, but it is found in the 1968 TV issue. Another TPG mess.

At least PSA now reflects the proper date of issuance. If only they were that proactive with the sports cards that have been given wrong dates.

Thanks guys - obviously good to know on this one, since a 1965 vs. 1968 issue for Clay makes a big difference. I was unaware of the issue on this one....

When I bought mine I assumed it was 65. Fortunately I didn't pay that much, it was many years ago.

I know the guy who is probably the world's leading authority on music cards, which are a nightmare of misdating and misidentification. He says all his efforts to get PSA to make corrections have failed.

Prices are up huge on these the past couple of years, and I'm sure they'll still sell strong. You'll remain way up on your original purchase price...
