I made a picture logo because the lines were getting too cluttered with text.

1994 SP Holoview - Holgram player does not match player depicted on main card. I believe I have two at home. I think one of the two is Canseco/Sheffield error. I'll see if I can dig it up tonight and scan it. Hopefully the scanner will pick up the hologram.

OK, Here is the scan. I think that is Jeffrey Hammonds in the holoview on the Canseco card. I'll look around to see if I can find my Sheffield error as well.

ok, I found my 94 SP Holoview Sheffield error. I couldn'r remember who he was paired with so I had a hard time finding the card. Without further delay...

Hello,

This a "misprint" that may not be truly unique, but I don't believe I have come across this misprint since purchasing this card in 1994.

This is the front of the card....

and this is the back of the card...

85_topps_wrong_back_small.jpg


The back is card # 494 "Rich Dauer" in the 1985 Topps set...

Thank you,

Cards Fan

This is a fantastic thread, and a tremendous resource for collectors. Thanks, OnionRing for the effort to put this together.

I'll take a look and see where (if anywhere) I can contribute.
