Default 1989 Perez-Steele Celebration Set Autos

I've read many times that only 41 of the 44 players could have signed the 1989 Perez-Steele Celebration Set. The three that already passed away were : Lefty Gomez (2-17-89), Judy Johnson ( 6-15-1989) and Bill Terry ( 1-9-1989). First question is why does the PSA/DNA list Johnson and Terry with one signed auto ( I thought they didn't sign any - a PSA mistake ) ? Also if Johnson passed away in June of 1989 and didn't sign any , how did Jocko Conlan sign 5 and he passed away on (4-16-89). Was Johnson unable to sign before his death due to illness but Conlan still had a chance. Any comments or information is appreciated. Not sure exactly when the set was available for signing. Thanks
