Mislabeled 1990 Griffey Jr. getting plenty of attention

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1990-Donruss-Diamond-Kings-Super-Ken-Griffey-Jr-4-PSA-10-GEM-MINT/402679034714
This one caught my attention as I was interested in upgrading mine until I took a quick look at the pictures provided in the auction.
Not sure how it was labeled a "Super" Diamond King, clearly the base card. Someone is trying to make some cash exploiting the mislabel and low POP.

    only thing super about that card is the gift grade of a 10.

    That might be up there with the ugliest 10’s I’ve ever seen. Of course, it’s 90 Donruss, which starts ugly.

    What do you mean? PWCC describes this as Undeniably GEM MINT

    LOL folks, too funny. Sad thing is folks are bidding and whoever gets it will only own a label which is one of two, not the real deal which is a huge card at 5x7 and requires a jumbo holder. Here is mine.

    I thought the same thing, looked it up and saw that it is a 5 x 7 SUPER size card. I did not know they even existed.
    I need to check how many of the regular size JRs that I have. Oh well.

    The only Supers worth a lot are the 1992s,which Griffey is not part of

    I have no memory of those jumbos. Were they distributed in packs or was it a mail in promotion?

    That’s a pretty bad miss considering the SUPER is named that because it is SUPERSIZED. But the “research and ID” people miss these incorrect entries all the time. I can’t count how many mislabeled cards I’ve seen on eBay. Best example the 2018 Bowman Mega Box chrome. These are supposed to be the Mojo Refractor but there are 100s if not 1000s on eBay that are labeled mega box chrome but the actual card is just a plain chrome.
