1974 Topps Baseball error card #598?
 
I found this card along with other card number 598s but this one has the wrong front. It should be the '74 rookie outfielders card. I tried looking it up but couldn't find any info on it or any other card like it online or eBay. Does anyone have any info on it? Is it a rare occurrence or a common misprinthttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...95ea98efaa.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0cf666498e.jpg

Wrong back cards are not hard to find. If you look on eBay under Topps variations or errors you should find several. If there is a big name player on front sometimes player collectors would pay a small premium. Maybe not so much for one on the back. But you never know.

Wrong backs may not be hard to find, but what about wrong fronts? :D

Taking a closer look at it, it could indeed be a wrong front after all

Cool card, value is highly debatable. There are a few guys out there that build wrong back sets. The star cards are easy to find, the common players are the tough ones. I know I made way more selling the common players than I ever did selling star player wrong backs.

I once owned a card that had the right back and the right front, but the edges were the wrong ones.

My Ted Williams rookie is like that. They are from a 39 Play Ball just not a Ted Williams 39 Play Ball.:D

It could theoretically be that both the front and back are wrong.

One of the sheets from 1974 was misprinted in quantity. I used to have the whole 132 card collection of cards from that where the backs were all different from the front. Agree that they aren't hard to find and don't have much value.
