In probably the most hilarious lawsuit I have seen regarding sports cards.
Paul Lesko of Cardboard Connections Law of Cards purchased what he thought was an error card on Topps Now. They had John Harrison on the card of the Pirates Josh Harrison.

Topps sent him the corrected Josh Harrison. Paul immediately informed Topps that he was expecting the error version, Topps in turn basically told him to stuff it.
Later the Topps Company changed the wording of a disclaimer on their website to say...
"ALL SALES ARE FINAL. PRINT RUNS REVEALED AFTER 24 HOUR WINDOW. SHIPS IN 3-5 BUSINESS DAYS. ART SUBJECT TO CHANGE. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR TYPOGRAPHIC/PRINTER ERRORS."
The price tag on this lawsuit you ask? $4,999,999 plus attorney fees. I read that as not a real number and a statement to Topps of hey man just send me my damn error card. Honestly I have NO clue why Topps just does not print the error and send it to him, seems like the better solution for them.
