There are always some of those on eBay, the 1979 cards with the badly off center 1978 backs. I read before that leftover 1978 printed backs were used as a practice run for the new 1979 fronts, and some of them escaped the dumpster and made their way into the hands of collectors. It's possible that Keith Olbermann talked about some of the 1979 Topps proof error cards in his three part series, but I was never able to find the third part where he talks about 1977 and up. Correction, it was a four part series and Olbermann only talks about 1977 in the last part.
