Not a Parkhurst BION but a Quaker Oats BION

A few weeks ago I purchased a PSA5 1953 Parkhurst BION card from a fellow Board Member. What puzzled me about the card was that it had a blank back where every other card I had from the set had the Toronto Star Ad.
It turns out that PSA mislabled the card and it IS NOT from the Parkhurst set but from the much scarcer Quaker Oats version of this set. The pictures & text are the same but the Card Nos. are different.
I don't fault PSA for the error since the difference is minute (Until you know what to look for) and the card was probably submitted as a Parkhurst
On the bottom RH corner of the card is where the different copyright info. appears.
I'm happy about the buy since through sheer dumb luck I stumbled onto a much rarer card than I originally thought I bought.
Just wanted to share this info. in case anyone has these cards.
