Default Error by design and color printing error

The #240 card in the 1949 BOWMAN set depicts Bobby Young (a St Louis Cardinals rookie in 1948). But, the name and the bio is that of veteran ballplayer
Norman "Babe" Young, who played with the Cardinals for the 1948 season. In 1949, Young was invited by the Yankees to Spring training. He injured his leg
during Spring training and retired.
