Dimaggio factory misprint

captainthreeputt

I purchased a 1941 Play Ball Joe Dimaggio raw. The front is Joe Dimaggio, and the back is John Walter Cooney. I sent it in to PSA and they did not grade it for the reason it is a factory misprint? If I understand this correctly, it is a real 1941 Play Ball Joe Dimaggio, it just has a misprinted backing?

I would love to hear some thoughts and advice. I am going to call PSA tomorrow and see if it can atleast be put into a slab as authentic. I would think if everything I have said is correct, maybe there is some value to this card to "error" collectors.

Thanks for any expertise or knowledge in advance,

Brian

wrong back 1941 R336 cards are actually not that rare, Ive owned about 8-10 over the years and I dont seek them out.
They are all handcut from printers scrap sheet and were never issued in a pack of gum. They all should get an "A" grade if the grader grades it correctly



example of one I have right now...

PS send it to SGC, they will get it right

it should never get a number grade but it is an authentic scrap sheet cut from 1941 and should be slabbed as such.

I had the exact card of DiMaggio / Cooney reverse. I think I paid $5.00 in the early 1980's and sold it on ebay about 10 years ago for about $100.00. It was in rough condition, I would say maybe a PSA 2?
