I recently came across a 1984 Topps Mike Easler (#589) with the back of #11 (Twins team checklist). Was this a known occurance with this set? Are there any others out there or could this just be a fluke?

This happens with sets all over the place. https://www.tradingcarddb.com/FAQ.cfm?ITEM=WrongBacks ------------------------------- -- Dan -- Note: Please see my profile for more info regarding trading (section updated 3/4/2024).

For some sets in the 1980s, one can even purchase whole "cut cases" of similar printing mistakes. Oddly, instead of simply destroying them, Topps actually sold them by the thousands, out the back door.
