Undoubtedly, unequivocally, no question one of the coolest cards I own

Unless you're an Orioles fan or Yankee hater, you might like this.

Jeter on front


Torrasco on the back


And the cherry on the cake is the mention of the play and Jeffrey Maier on the back.

I have often wondered about error cards being deliberately made. I mean how in the world do you put the wrong picture of super prospect, #6 overall pick, Barry Bonds on the key card in the entire boxed set in very miniscule quantities? How does the name of super prospect, #7 overall pick, Frank Thomas magically get erased in super small quantities on his RC? How does the back of super prospect, #1 overall pick, Chipper Jones' RC get printed with a football card back instead of his own on unimaginable low quantities? Maybe I'm a conspiracy theorist but it seems awfully strange that the Tarasco back falls onto the Jeter front. There are 220 cards in the set with Jeter and Tarasco being 163 cards apart from one another, but they still manage to end up together. Cool historical card though.

I'm positive that some error cards in the past have been made purposely to drive sales (1990 Donruss is king in terms of famous ones) but there's a whole story immaculately researched about the Frank Thomas which can found online.

I've got an A rod from '96 I believe with a Baerga back.

Frank wasn't even a top 25 prospect at the time 1990 Topps went to presses. Now, a NNOF Ben McDonald, Todd Zeile, Greg Vaughn, Juan Gonzalez, John Olerud, Albert Belle, Eric Anthony, or even Delino DeShields would have been really suspect at the time.

That fact that the Frank isn't the only one missing ink in that run and also the 91' Topps had sheets with FB backs, not just Chipper kind explains those as not on purpose. The 1987 Opening day set I can't explain and the Jeter, very well coulda been the printer or someone saying lets line these sheets this way to make sure DJ matches TT could happen. But who knows, I could be wrong on all accounts.

A Traded Kevin Maas would be highly suspect too..

I know I'm wrong on all accounts. I was really just saying the Jeter Tarasco card is way too coincidental and I have always wondered how certain error cards made their way into packs.
