I have several 1928 R315 Lefty Grove cards. Pictures of a couple of Lefty's cards are below. The one thing that always catches my eye with these cards is the word "Athletics" written below "Lefty Grove". It appears that whoever wrote "Athletics" on Lefty's card really botched it up badly. The "H" appears to have been an "L" at one point. The "L" is not an "L" at all -- it's an "E". So, instead of "ATHLETICS", it looks like "ATHEETICS".
(1) Has anybody else ever noticed this?
(2) Is Lefty's card the only one with "Athletics" botched this badly? (I noticed in another thread that Jimmie Foxx's card has "ATHLETICS" written properly below his name...)
(3) Why would the person who did this not throw out his work and re-do it? Certainly he was aware from the beginning that he had messed up...
(4) Has anybody else ever seen a "corrected" version of this card with "Athletics" written properly below Lefty's name?
