1976 OPC - PSA labeled the wrong card company?
Topps29
Posts: 1,397 ✭✭✭
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?

Wrong name---wrong card company-----BIG WHOOOP!!!!
how about wrong name----wrong card company----wrong f
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 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...).
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).

I have called and had them corrected before they left Newport Beach.
ON ITS WAY TO NEWPORT BEACH, CA 92658
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

I have 4 or 5 mislabled cards, all 73 OPC hockey labled as Topps.
We hear about it frequently though.

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
