Default PWCC erroneously lists 1990 Topps George Bush USA card...

Sent them an e-mail about this last night, but wanted to make the community at large aware of this in case they refuse to update their listing.

BGS has been labelling these as Glossy for a while now, but they are demonstrably NOT the White House issue. I purchased one of these BGS "Glossy" slabbed cards years ago because Terry Boyd had also claimed it to be a WH issue, because of BGS's mistake.

I posted about this a few years ago both here and on Blowout when I first purchased the card.

ALL 1990 Bush USA cards are glossy in appearance, with a sheen not present on standard issue 1990 Topps cards. The White House issue has an additional lacquer-like coating, and my guess is, when BGS learned of this additional variation, they started putting "Glossy" on their flips because they would look different from the regular 90's. Either way, this card listed by PWCC is being touted as the far rarer WH issue, when it is not.

Hoping they do the right thing, but as I haven't heard back, and the listing is already over 2 grand, I'm doubtful.

More info on these variations can be found on the PSA web site:
