Now you could send people or a cruel scavenger hunt by showing this card in a new thread, saying this is a newer before seen typo error you recently discovered.

Like this booger-less variation?

Doubtful this was considered a mistake at the time. Topps didn't always get an A in grammar and punctuation, especially if you look at the back of some 1950's and 60's cards.

That is the absolute truth! Take a gander at Topps football cards in the 70s. License? We don't need no stinkin' license! We'll just airbrush off all the logos. What ensued was a decade of laziness and horrible looking cards brought on by monopoly. Quality control stuff like the Babe is no surprise at all.
