Lee Roy Jordan's card back states he was a 1st round pick in 1962. As he was drafted in 1963, shouldn't this be listed as an UER?

Maybe they were confused with LeRoy Jackson who was a 1st round pick in 1962. Leroy Jackson... Lee Roy Jordan.
But, yes, it looks like an UER.

The 1963 NFL Draft was held on December 3rd 1962.

Interesting. Then technically the card is correct.

Except for the fact that Jerry Stovall's card correctly lists him as a 1st round pick in 1963. Stovall was taken 4 picks before Jordan. Dave Robinson is also correctly listed as a 63 draft pick.

The wording on Jordan's card reads, "in '62" when he was drafted, while both Stovall's and Robinson's state, "for '63" the season they were drafted for.
