PSA boo boo .. 1941 Goudey

[36GoudeyMan]

OK, so this is a PSA 7, without qualifier... perhaps its from the hitherto unknown second print run of "name on top" variation? PSA has been queried about this .. stay tuned....

That's a hell of a neat miscut, but...yeah, bad job there PSA.

[Leon]

I have a similar type miscut, and it's a miscut.

That slab looks to be on the old side. Maybe somebody who studies these things can provide an actual date.

Graded like 20 years ago, but if you send it back in they'll add (MC) to it to make you happy.

I am always good for a 1941 Goudey miscut image or two.

I'm confused. It is still Bill Dietrich. The name matches the image. Could it be possible that some variations had the name on the top instead of the bottom?

[bobbyw8469]

Here is another name on top variation that got the qualifier because it shows the border and too much yellow above it.....

No. It’s just the same card printed above itself on the sheet; so that a miscut can show the ‘right name’ like most T206’s. Not a variation. You can see in other 1941 miscuts that this is so.

Greg is correct. The two 1941 Goudey cards I shared in post #6 would have the same name at the bottom of the card if they weren't so squinkingly miscut at the time of their production.

I assume the OP was referring to the fact that this card did not receive (MC) qualifier because the grader probably didn't realize that a properly cut card would have the name/team designation at the bottom.

I give this slab a 'D' grade.

A picture is worth a thousand words, so I randomly grabbed this one off of eBay to show what the cards were meant to look like...

...but for this set, being one of the industry leaders in miscuts, they often ended up looking like these...

That wavy rainbow is giving me flashbacks!

I think what Goudey was trying to tell us was that anyone capable of even a modicum of quality control was busy fighting a war.

That Dietrich 7 looks better than regular !

I'm completely unsurprised by everyone's favorite opinion seller having no idea about various aspects of this card.

Can somebody tell us who's card it is?

Edited to say : from a quick google search I guess if actually is Bill Dietrich, and they were printed in columns of the same player on the sheets

[BillyCoxDodgers3B]

Looks like Bill "Bullfrog" Dietrich to me. Not too many bespectacled players back then.

I collected this set in all 4 colors then spent the next 32 years upgrading to no miscuts! What a PAIN in the RUMPLESTILSKIN! I think I am down to just 1 or 2 to go.

That's older than some guys on this forum. So who do you still need and what color?

My example of a miscut..
