Missing Spec?

Wondering if anyone can help me out...

I recently purchased a 1992 O-Pee-Chee #402 Gary Carter for my Carter Master Set. The card is listed as part of the set and when I add it to my overall inventory it shows as having Spec #0131924020 associated with it.

However, when I try to assign the card to my Carter Master Set, the Spec # entry in the line for 1992 O-Pee-Chee #402 is blank and the card gets assigned to the wrong slot. It gets assigned to the slot for 1992 O-Pee-Chee #387, which also shows a blank Spec #.

I submitted the issue using the "Report a cert that should match this composite" link, but I'm not sure if that's the right path to follow. Is there a recommended way to get this issue addressed? Hopefully it doesn't take months like it does to get new cards added to the composite.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Brion

Not sure if you know this, but the OPC set that year issued a four-card Gary Carter tribute subset that was not included in the Topps set. They were not numbered sequentially but rather the Carter cards took the place of some Topps All-Stars in the set.

The regular issue Carter card in that set, I believe, is #45. With the tribute cards numbering 387, 389, 399, and 402. The Topps cards in that set for those numbers are Ryne Sandberg All-Star, Barry Larkin All-Star, Wade Boggs All-Star, and Joe Carter All-Star.

This may be the confusion as I believe that PSA simply copied the Topps checklist for the OPC checklist without noting the discrepancies.
