2019 Leaf Ultimate Sports wrong Matsui?

Saw this Ichiro / Matsui / Ohtani 1/1 triple auto from this years Leaf ultimate sports release.

The scan is a little fuzzy but the pic they used for Matsui looks like Kazuo Matsui. Not Hideki Matsui.



Reminded me of the bat barrel from a few years back where they got the Matsui's mixed up.

Wow, looks like you're right.

View attachment 90940 Wow, looks like you're right.

That looks like the same picture used in the card. Good investigative work!

I watched Kaz in Houston for several years. I can say with total confidence that is Kaz Matsui.

Hey Leaf,any chance you can make this right with the proper replacement??

Found the old Beckett article regarding the Matsui bat barrel mix-up of 2009.

Rather have a wrong pic with right signature than vice versa, but it sucks either way.
