I have 2 Fleer Tradition Andres Galarraga cards. The front is exactly the same on both but one card has Eduardo Perez on the back. Is this a misprint or were there 2 different cards printed? I can not find another card like this.

Most probably a misprint. It does happen once in a while. I have a 1968 card that is a similar misprint. You will rarely see these in any guide as they are normally not issued as they are caught in the company's quality control. It is not like a whole print batch was made and issued before an error was picked up and corrected.

Throw that sucker on eBay, you might get lucky. There are some Galarraga collectors with deep pockets that have been paying ridiculous money for rare Galarraga cards in the last severa months.

And who knows, you might just find an Eduardo Perez collector. Or the equally rare Galarraga/Perez collector!

Thank you guys. I have another one but with 2 different players also I have to dig it out. Anyone have a clue what it might be worth or what to start a listing price at?

No idea what this might be worth, but my favorite eBay selling experience was selling a misprint Kyle Hendricks card -- picture was only from his crotch to his neck. I started it at 99 cents, like I start all my auctions. It was at about 5 bucks when I went to walk my dog just before it closed. I came back and it sold for $74! Misprint collectors are weird. But good luck.

The Kyle Kendrick card was actually a super short print variation.

I have sold several miscut cards on Ebay. Most were from the 70s but they do sell.

Not sure of the difference between super short print variation and misprint. There's no way they intended it. But I was happy to basically get the entire set for free because of that one card.
