PSA - grading mis-prints

Catalogued version is right. Original card had born in 1931 on the back (error). Next version was an obvious attempt to change the '3' and make it a '2'. The last version is the correct 1921 date. The higher prices that the 2nd version generate are a bit odd. Doesn't appear to be any harder to obtain.

Thanks for the responses. I'm not to "clued in" to the modern issues and variations. I guess this goes into the same category as the 1989 (I think) Fleer Billy Ripken card where the end of the bat has three different variations: FF, blocked out or "scratched out". Something like that.

I figured the "obscured 3" on the Spahn card was just a print defect, which to me would mean that it is a defect more than it is a variation. Perhaps it was Topps way of trying to correct their mistake.

Again, thanks!

Here's an image of the "obscured 3" version...

...and here's the "1921" version.
