Just noticed a screw-up on Panini's part. Clearly, the "Thunder & Lightning" insert sets are supposed to be just that: Thunder & LIGHTNING. Looking at the images in the DB, however, every single one of them actually says Thunder & LIGHTING (noticed it first when logging in the Blue parallel for TL-12).

Everything on COMC is "Lighting" too. Brutal

I assume it's the whole run of inserts. I'm sure they had a base graphic design for the logo and background and then photoshopped in the individual players and text. The error is in the core design, so I'd be stunned if it isn't every card in the set.

Off-topic somewhat, but this might be my favorite Panini error yet.
For context, the insert set that the linked card is from is meant to commemorate historical college football moments. They used a photo of Jeff George's son, Jeff George Jr., who played two years for Illinois, finishing with a 48% completion percentage while the team went 5-19 overall in his two years. Not even the same uniform design his dad wore...
They're getting worse and worse, which I didn't think was possible.
-------------------------------
I'll never quit collecting entirely, but I am downsizing. Check out my COMC store and help me thin out what I don't want so I can buy cards that I do want. See something you like? Send me a message on here, and we can knock the price down quite a bit. I'll even take a bit of a loss if it means getting you a card you really want. |

Yeah, pretty sure Jeff Sr. wore #11 at Illinois too.

I've been working on this set since last year. I was probably 4 cards in before I noticed it. Yes, they are all "Lighting." I don't know if it makes me like them more or less.

There was pandemonium when this was discovered. Every Youtuber I watched was hoping to see the insert set, so they could just roast Panini.

When life has you down buy a pack of cards and realize you overpaid. |

I do like some good lighting but never thought of celebrating it on a card.
