Actually Paul: It is not funny anymore. Everyone at PSA should write on the blackboard 100x "We will not make this mistake again". |

I wish I still had the pic, but PSA once slabbed a T206 Heinie Wagner as Honus. |

If I had to grade cards eight hours a day five days a week I wouldn't be able to tell Honus Wagner from Robert Wagner. I think it is a result of tedious and repetitive work. |

Barry , That crack about Robert Wagner had me rollin! The thing that will happen next is a someone will win it, get a m116 Honus Wagner reprint, rough it up, crack the slab replace with the fake,seal it up and walah! Instant scam. |

If one could crack open a slab, replace a card, and reseal it without being detected there would be no end to the scams that could be perpetrated. |

Oh no not another PSA made a mistake let's bash PSA (and praise SGC) thread. For what they do I think they have a remarkably low error rate. |

Peter, rather than bemoaning the fact that yet again PSA's shoddy work has been exposed, how about finding similar examples in an SGC slab so that you can prove that SGC is as bad PSA. If they were out there, this board would have exposed them and people like you would gloating loud and long about the mistakes. Until similar major gaffs are found in SGC slabs, people around here will hold a contemptable view of PSA and their ability to accurtely identify vintage cards and the players depicted on them. |

I just sent an e91c card of P. Donahue back to SGC (#8151548-013) that came labeled "JNO DONAHUE" (the other Donahue in the set)even though the name is clearly listed on the front of the card as "P. DONAHUE". Big effin' deal. People make mistakes. Do all of the bashers here judge their own lives so critically? |

Why is it that whenever a grading mistake is made people automatically assume that it will be used to make money off of the ill-informed collector? |

This has been pointed out repeatedly, but doesn't seem to sink in; slabbers hold themselves up as the highest authority of authentication and accuracy of grading. When they fail miserably at it, they need to be held accountable for it because HUGE sums of money are involved, as is the trust that people put into what is being put on the label. I don't know anything about the coin slabbing world, but I am willing to bet that they don't take too kindly to slabbers that label nickles as $20 gold pieces or labeling an 1805 silver dollar as an 1804. |

Well put, Vargha and Quan. It's a freaking clerical error. Oh, wait, I am a sheep, so all I can say is "baaaaaaaaaaaaa." EDITED TO ADD Jay, what is a "gaff"? |

The following three paragraphs taken from the PSA web site explain that after a card has been graded, labeled and sealed, there are two additional so-called Verification stages. |

And I thought mine was a 1 of 1. I have a m116 Heine Wagner slabbed as Hans Wagner too....except mine is a PSA 7.... I guess it has more scam opportunity. |

A gaff is an error or miste. Mybe I misspelled it. That's strong possibility since I am a dumb jock. |

Well Bruce, those PSA standards are good enuff for me. Based on their quality control procedures the only conclusion which may be drawn is that the holdered card is the rare T206 Honus Wagner variation containing the wrong caption and picture. |

I have a T206 Heinie Wagner PSA 9 that is labeled as Honus Wagner. I have not bothered to get it changed as I figured it was worth more as a collectors item. |

I hate to contribute to the PSA bashing since it is so clearly over the top on this forum, but I will mention one other mislabel they have done. |

Let's all submit a bunch of misidentified cards to each of the major services and see which one(s) catch the errors. |
