Very Excited to show this one off. One of the highlights of my ever growing collection. Had to pass on a similar one earlier in the year, this one's definitely a beauty. Thank you to Charlietheexternimantor for such a smooth transaction. Introducing the 1952 Berk Ross Mickey Mantle.

Wrong back cards are always cool

Is that a wrong back from an entirely different product? Now that's interesting.

Exactly what I was thinking. Did they ever do this as some kind of advertising sheet, or would this just have been an accident at the printing plant?

Yes. I’ve got many blank back Brock cards and a handful of wrong baseball backs but this is different

They are on eBay frequently and they usually sell in the $100+/- range. Nearly all of them are from the 1973 second series sheet 133-264, but I have seen some from the first series sheet 1-132. I don't know if they were a test run with leftover Wacky Packages backs, a mistake, or someone at the plant fooling around, but they are always perfectly aligned on the front and the back which is unusual because in other similar situations the backs are almost always misaligned from the fronts. What I wonder is were they cut up back in 1973 or did someone cut up sheets in the past ten years to sell them individually on eBay?

Picked up a 1960 NU BASEBALL HI-LITES card to display with my Fred Snodgrass autograph. Honestly, I thought they were regular card size, but it's kinda cool that they're bigger (display wise that is).
