Card Identification Forum

I did not notice this when I first uploaded the scans of this card to the site, but the card I have has Ryan Zimmerman on the front with MEM, but the back seems to have the information for James Loney HR-JL. Anyone know if this is an ERR or a UER?? Thanks

Usually a different player back is a simple printing error. The kind of error this database doesn't usually track. Also this type of question is very frequently asked FAQ.

I did a little bit deeper of a dig online and found tha this card does have a corrected version. Ebay had a couple and some did comc. Can someone do me a solid and just do a search to validate me. Then we need to add an ERR to the list if someone can validate me. 

Thanks

I see that there are 3 cards currently listed on COMC (Zimmerman) and 1 of the 3 has the Loney back. Looking through the others, I didn't see any others with different backs. Looks like we may have a legitimate error on our hands here.

I added the corrected card (since the scan there was of the error card). This set needs some more work! There are several players with 2 cards in the set, but the cards were still "numbered" (lettered?) the same (HR-JR for Jose Reyes, both cards, not HR-JR and HR-JR2).

If someone has some free time today, please do what you can for this set. Thanks.

vroomed, thanks. I greatly appreciate the help. I looked at the FAQ's section before I posted, but it just does not seem that easy to write off an incorrect back. To me there could be legit errors, but on the other hand some of the companies are pretty bad about their QA of their product. Hence the reason I ask before I add anything.

Most times, it's a simple error in the printing process (a sheet or stack of sheets go through upside down) and you get the card in the upper left corner on the front with the card in the lower right corner's back). This accounts for almost all of the wrong backs for standard cards that exist.

Now, in this case, things again, are little different. From what I unerstand, the process for putting together a MEM card involves actually attaching the MEM to the card back and then attaching the front (maybe the process is reversed, but I doubt they attach the MEM to the front).

The next question on these cards are - is the MEM from Loney, or from Zimmerman? But this did look like more than the simple printing error, which is I why I added it to the database.
