1976 OPC - PSA labeled the wrong card company?

Topps29

Has anyone experienced a mis-labeling error by PSA? I have two 1976 OPC cards (#500 Reggie Jackson and #550 Hank Aaron) that I submitted raw in hopes to sell them. When I received them back from CA, the red label read 1976 Topps on both cards which they awarded a PSA 7. The back of the card clearly states "O.P.C PTD, IN CANADA".

Just looking to see if this is happening frequently?

Thanks for your attention and reply in advance!

I subbed a couple 92 Topps Ripken's. The card number is 40 and they were labeled 400. Funny thing is card number 400 is his All Star card.

i've had 2 probs in my last 2 subs.. they mislabeled an 83 jogo moon as 83 jogo quaterbacks.. and on the kentucky oaks ticket stub.. they said "rachel alexader" rather than rachel alexandra.. they were really good about correcting them. i haven't sent back the ticket yet..but i caught the moon before they shipped it and corrected it the same day. if they already shipped it.. you can send it back.. ask customer service what you exaclty need to do.. but they correct it free of charge and might give you a voucher for a free grading to cover your shipping cost

I sent an otto graham and it came back ottis anderson. That makes me think the computer they use has prompts and now and then the wrong one gets pressed.

I've talked to many people, including dealers that bash 3rd party authenticators and since i'm a believer of all 3rd parties and use PSA, I seem to defend them a lot.

These mistakes you guys have pointed out are basic things that I believe should not be made by a 1st rate authentication company like PSA.

At times, i wonder if they type in the header card for each holder one by one when a computerized, click the box and print would eliminate mistakes and create uniformity. I've seen two inserts that are identicle but the label describes them two different ways. I think it's the small stuff like this, the basic mistakes or inconsistancies that really make PSA look bad. This just proves they don't have that final level of quality control that would identify the year, or band, or player or even the sport to confirm the label is correct. This really makes it hard for me to keep defending them. But... i will.



Sorry for all my spelling mistakes, I don't have my "click and post" feature set up on my computer yet...

I have had about a dozen Leaf cards come back labeled as Donruss. The French writing on the back should have been a big clue.

Carew, Im not laughing at your mislabeled card, but your post was damn funny.

Isn't there a T206 Heinie Wagner mislabeled as Honus Wagner out there?

that barry sanders, errr.... Rod Carew is priceless, you should li it on the bay as a real sanders rookie, show the image, and make no mention of carew.

i think that's actually a better mistake for psa to make (something so obvious) than a careless one of not identifying the card properly (opc to topps etc...).

It happens.

I had it happen once on a submission I made - they labeled a Diamond Star as 1934 instead of 1935 (no real impact on value), and have seen it maybe 15-20 times among all the cards I've purchased.

Sometimes it's no big deal (making a typo on the name); sometimes it matters a lot (a '36 Goudey being labeled as a '36 Goudey Premiums).

On one occasion, I got a '66 Topps Venezuelan that had been labeled as a regular '66 Topps. That was probably the submitter's fault - if you know nothing about the Venezuelan set, it would just look like an unattractive copy of that year's Topps card.

It can't just be by following the wrong prompts. 1983 Topps Tiffany didn't exist, and so wouldn't have a prompt (the card was an '84 Topps Tiffany).

This is the reason I cheack my submission 1001 times a day
I have called and had them corrected before they left Newport Beach.

When PSA actually used to print out the Pop Report; I once found some card which had been ID'd in what I recall was at least four different ways. All of the ways were basically correct; but I think the issue was the difference in using:

Traded; Update; Supplemental and no word after the base set.

The card at the time was the 1988 Score Supplemental Craig Biggio. In that case; since the submitters (with the exception of the person who did not call the card an "update" were using terms that were technically correct but not always part of the official set name

And of course; there were the glossy parallels to that set too

It happens, I don't know about frequently.


We hear about it frequently though.

I must be special cuz it has never happened to me, I have bought one though a PSA 7 1965 topps card with Clemente, Mays and Aaron on it.

I either sold it or threw it in on a deal to Jvette who sent it back in and got an 8 on it.

I think i figured it out....see...Rod was sitting on the grass and Barry ran by so fast in the background shot...that it had to be Barry Sanders
