has anyone ever seen card errors like these???

pulled 37 cards from a bowman draft jumbo box with topps chrome football images. backs of the cards are correct for bowman draft. never seen anything like this before.

That happens when seasons overlap. I have a 1991 Topps baseball Ken Griffey Jr on front with A 1990 Topps football Jim Arnold (my dad's name) on back.

FWIW - a 1992 Bowman Alomar error with a football card on back, and another football card overprinted on front. But that was 33 years ago, when baseball card printing was still coming out of the dark ages. It's a little surprising that this still happens in 2024.

Actually, maybe it's not. There's no reason to expect card companies to be filled with employees who are outstanding at their jobs and never screw up. I can't think of any place I've worked at (except one) where every single person was talented, competent, and motivated.

Wondering how rare they are, if at all.

I believe the print shop is responsible overall. Not that Topps QA shouldn't have caught this, but what can you expect from a company that increases production every year?
