Default 1950 Bowman Baseball Set "fact"?

I wanted to know something about the 1950 Bowmans, so I looked it up on the PSA website. As I read the entry I went "What?" I don't think anyone who knew anything about the set did the editing. Notice anything wrong? Here's the entire entry from the PSA website:

The 1950 Bowman set consists of 252 cards, each measuring 2-1/16" by 2-1/2”. For the first time, Bowman utilized full-color artwork for its card front display of a player surrounded by a thin white border. The set is anchored by Hall of Fame subjects Joe DiMaggio (#3), Bob Feller (#6), George Kell (#8), Phil Rizzuto (#11), Warren Spahn (#19), Pee Wee Reese (#21), Larry Doby (#39), Bob Lemon (#40), Roy Campanella (#75), Duke Snider (#77), Ted Williams (#98), Early Wynn (#148) and Casey Stengel (217). Cards found in the low numbers (#’s 1-72) are the rarer of the 1950 Bowman issue and hold the majority of the Hall of Fame players. Variations can be found on the reverse of the final 72 cards (#’s 181-252), which were printed with and without the copyright line at the bottom of the card, the “without” version being the less common of the two.
