This 1974 Dave Winfield #456 Rookie Card is in sweet shape, and having the wrong back could possibly make it a 1/1 RC kinda thing, which is way cool, and the 'Tom Terrific' is simply one of my all-time favorite cards...

Some research:
The fronts of the cards are oriented properly, which means the Seaver back (#48 Dick Sharon and #69 Del Unser) has been one-eightied. In looking through images of uncut sheets on-line, none of the three different card backs are players printed on the same sheets as the Seaver/Winfield cards. Of course, the images I saw were only half-sheets (slits?), which may or may not be a factor. I know 1974 was rife with wrong back cards. IIRC, ‘The Card Collector's Company’ catalog way back when used to sell them/list them with their 1974 offerings.

Damn, those are so cool! Color me envious. That's my favorite Seaver card too.
