notice on this right about the 18 it says patriots well mine says eagles on the jersey while he is in his patriots uniform.

I dont know if this means anything but id thought i should ask the experts i guess lol

It may not be an error per se. Some manufacturers have been known to simply photoshop players into their new team's jerseys for the sake of getting the cards in production without having to wait on new photography.

Ah, yes. This here is the most likely explanation. Simply a sloppy photoshop job.

Happens all the time and I think all the card companies do it. If I remember correctly, the first Topps and UD Favre Vikings offerings do (will?) have photoshopped pics. It's just their way of getting cards to the printer sooner instead of having to wait for a new photograph.

You are correct. They'll be in Topps Finest.

For a product like that, coming out later, I don't know why they couldn't do what UD did (get a shot of him in practice Vikings gear). Better yet, Panini really outdid the competition and got a shot of him in a preseason game, stopped the presses, and made it work.

If a card set is printed after preseason, there is no excuse that they can't get a current team photo.
