This card has bothered me for a while. The description on the back clearly describes John Jacob Astor IV, but the image on the front just seemed wrong. I finally looked around today and confirmed that the image is of John Jacob Astor III.

JJA III (1822-1890) was the uncle of JJA IV (1864-1912).

I'm a Titanic enthusiast so I'm well aware of JJA IV, but it took me a while to actually convince myself Topps would be this dumb.

Turning off trading because my collection is in complete disarray after moving and I don't know when I can get it organized.

All three "Hanson Brothers" (Slapshot) cards in the 2021 set have wrong person write-ups on their backs. https://www.tcdb.com/Notes.cfm/sid/258453/2021-Topps-Allen-&-Ginter?Note=UER ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*
