Here's a relatively amusing one. PSA gave it a 'PD' qualifier instead of an 'ST,' so I always assumed it was just a data input error? The coffee (or whatever) permeates both sides of the card. No print defects involved, just some clumsy oaf hurriedly reaching for his remote and knocking his half-caff/decaf over into his box of cards, I imagine...

On the nonsports side, their identification and dating of many issues is simply atrocious, and the frustrating part is they won't listen to corrections. It has consequences in that segment too, as just one example PSA insists on dating a certain Michael Jackson card as 1969 when it was in fact issued in 1973, with the result that people call it a RC and command a huge premium from unknowing buyers when in fact he has earlier issues.
Other examples and there are hundreds. Cards of Elvis dated 1950, 5 years before his debut. A set dated 1930 which includes Frank Sinatra. A set dated 1935 of movie stars, discussing on the backs films issued 1938 and later.
