Star Wars set registry weirdness

It looks like anyone who had the infamous #207 (goldenrod or not) in their registry had it removed. The registry shows no one with 100% completion. Anyone hear anything about this?

    Yup, they deleted the card from every set. It does not make sense accept as a mistake. They have no way of discerning which were which by serial number, though almost every one that has been graded was the corrected version.

    Anybody heard anything official about this?

    Recently, I noticed that all those with card #207 in their set had
    this card struck from the registry. I understand that there were a
    small number of the infamous #207 error card that slipped past PSA
    and were graded. Is this why the #207 has been removed? I believe
    that this blanket removal of EVERYONE's #207 is a bit draconian. If
    this is indeed the case, I believe a better alternative would be to
    not allow users to post pictures of their #207 if indeed it is the
    error version. As it stands now, it has become impossible to have a
    complete set.

    regards.

    Hi Eric,

    A change was indeed made in the PSA database pertaining to the internal spec #'s for this card. It is true that PSA does not grade/holder this error due to the nature of the error. However, since there is a regular non-error variety for this card, completion is not impossible.
    I have since updated the composite and you should be able to add the your card, provided it is not the error variety, back to the set by tomorrow morning once the update has finished processing. If you are not able to add the card to your set at this time, please send me a scan of the front AND back of the item in its holder.

    Thank You,
