I've already sent a question to PSA asking what's going on here, any insight on this?

I could be crazy here, but...

Does such a thing exist?

I wonder if whoever slabbed it just mislabeled it. Maybe it was just a plain jane 1968 topps, and they accidentally slabbed it as Milton Bradley?

So when you petitioned to have it added to the registry, they realized their error, and their brilliant solution was not to communicate, but instead to surreptitiously shut that cert down.

Looking at the listing, here: https://goldin.co/item/1968-topps-mi...JkSW5kZXgiOjN9

It does look like a plain old 1968 Topps. The back is orange, not yellow. And there's no white stripe on the front edge.

Well that's the one I bought. I picked it up only because it was the Milton Bradley variation and the pop count was pretty low at the time. Of course I don't see the Willie on the pop report now so maybe they deactivated all the certs? Side by side with my regular 1968 Willie I could not tell the difference but I trusted in PSA. Oh well, slightly annoying to be sure but it wasn't a high dollar card.

Mays 100% doesn't exist in the MB set. Sounds like PSA to not communicate and just wipe the cert rather than admit they don't know what they are doing

I really like this thread . Was able to pick up a card I needed from another member ! Still Looking for other cards like 63-65 bazooka boxes and a 1969 Topps 4 in 1 Brock WS.

At least I know what happened now! All thanks to you knowledgeable folks. Thanks for the help.

Top of my list is certainly the 1952 Berk Ross Willie Mays, after that, it's a bit of a toss up:

1. 1952 Berk Ross Willie Mays
2. - 5.+ 1964 & 1968 Bazooka Willie Mays; any solo Venezuela Topps Mays; 1956 Topps Pins; Hires Root Beer, etc etc

[Griffins]

1962 Bell Brand- Norm or Larry Sherry in PSA 5 or better
1956 Topps Pins- Diering, or Rizzuto
1958 Hires Test- Mays with Tab (looking at you Nicolo!)
1962 Salada- Williams (name on right) and Brandt Orioles
1963 Pepsi- Bateman
1953 Topps Salesman Sample

HA. Wish I had more than one so that I could sell you my spare.

Although if memory serves, you were the underbidder when I picked mine up a few years ago, and graciously dropped out before the bidding got ludicrous, so I probably owe you one.
