Still trying to wrap my head around this one

Weren't they the ones that graded a reprint CJ that still had visible perforations around the edges from whatever sheet it was torn from?

Yes and to answer your question, Steve, so many of these "investors" just buy the slab now, and won't care. Because PSA is infallible to many that have no idea behind the corruption of the grading companies or how flawed they truly are.

Saw a PSA slab a few years ago for an Orbit Gum pin. I think it was labeled on the slab as "Babe Herman" but was really a "Billy Herman" pin. I might have that backwards. It was listed for a while, but appears to have sold. Not sure if the seller tried to get it reslabbed or not.

They have slabbed all "Big 4" T206 cards inaccurately before as well, right? Including a Heinie Wagner graded as a Honus?
I have seen multiple N43s listed as N29s by mistake.

And 1980s baseball pins of Mickey Mantle listed as 1969 despite him not even being in the set? They've done that too.

Sometimes for fun I go through the APR tool and grab a common card like a Jordan chrome and see how many are listed as the wrong parallel (refractor instead of base, cards from different years mistaken since most of his cards were #23...). With how many quality control and research steps they claim to take and how long they sit there in purgatory, they're hysterically incompetent. And now they're sending PSA 9 Jordan rookies to the wrong submitter... geesh.
