1992 Fleer Baseball Forum

I was going through a 3200 count box of 91 and 92 Fleer. I came across this jacked up card. The front is David Wells which should have his stats and every thing and is number 345, but it has Curt Young’s card back. Has any one seen of this crazy nonsense on any other cards. This was the only one in the box I could find, and I found this by pure accident. 

Wrongback cards was a fairly common occurance in the 80's and 90's.  It generally happens when an employee doesn't load the sheet properly when printing the back of the cards. Most of them are caught before they get out of the factory, but a few slip into packs.  They are considered printing errors and don't generally get logged here.  As for value, if you find a David Wells (or I guess a Curt Young) collector, it may have a premium.

You don't see this as often anymore as technology has improved and there are less manual steps in the printing process.

I've seen a lot of these type of errors for this particular year of Fleer. I guess they didn't have very careful people working in the printing area at this time. If you check ebay, there are about 15 or so up there today - 25 years after their release. Honestly, that's ridiculous the amount that must've been available that they still surface in these quantities today.

But anyway, these do not get catalogued here. However, if you decide to sell it, you may see a premium over a corrected version of both of these players.

What about '92 Fleer #675B (COR) card? Did we decide it does not exist?  It seems to have disappeared from the checklist and want list. What'd I miss?

Yes, a few cards in the last couple weeks were deemed to be fabrications by a specific member (who now has had about 15-20 cards removed completely - they were found to be fakes and non-existent).
