Card Identification Forum

I have two 1990 Fleer Update cards that are errors. I don't see these listed on the site and I'm wondering if this might be a problem throughout the set.  Pictured here is the Jeff Reardon front that should be card number U-75. But the card I have has an upside down back that is U-58 Rafael Valdez. I also have Greg Harris which should be U-71 but has an upside down back of U-63 Rick Parker.

Anyone else have cards that are wrong backed like this?

These come up occasionally. You won't find errors like this documented here: https://www.tcdb.com/FAQ.cfm?ITEM=WrongBacks

There is a market for them, as some collectors do enjoy and collect them.

I have several 89 Topps Baseball Cards with the back not matching the front. I haver seen it mentioned anywhere, but I'm guessing it's fairly common.

From th mid-80s to mid-90s this was a very common occurance. With some much product being pumped out quality control wasn't exactly the best. As Jason mentioned, these types of errors aren't documented here or pretty much anywhere else. Individual player collectors may have some interest though.

I mentioned it before but worth repeating.

I acquired (not knowingly) a 1965 OPC Pete Rose with the Walter Alston back.  In the same buy, I acquired a Walter Alston with the Pete Rose back.  I have them in a hard case two-card holder with the front and backs side by side.  Not something I would normally collect but because it is a HoF and someone who should be int he HoF, I will keep them.  I also got two others that matched up as well but they are lesser-known players.

Nice one! Sandyrusty on the Pete Rose/ Walter Alston Cards

Yes, it's a keeper.  But it left me still needing a correct Rose for my set.  I had bought the lot knowing the Rose front was in the lot.  Did not expect to get what I got.  Obviously that collector collected those oddballs.

The other keeper I have is a 1968 Topps "1967 NL ERA Leaders" front with the back being the #58 Ed Mathews. Niekro and Bunning are on the front so 3 HoF make up that printing error.  It was the first one of these I had ever seen.  Again got it in a large lot buy.
