Hammerin' Hank, Topps did it to ye at least twice!!!!
We all know that Hank Aaron's 1957 card was a reverse negative error and mistakenly showed him as a lefty batter…but I only realized today that Topps messed up and did the same thing 7 years later on the NL Batting Leaders card. He's batting lefty there, too!! It's been staring us right in the face for over half a century, but I have never heard it brought up before (could be wrong). That symmetrical 'M' on his hat really screwed over the fine folks at Topps, methinks. Weird.

Wow, good catch. Of course there is the possibility that he was toying with the photographer ala' Lew Burdette.

And his face and teeth look markedly 'off,' so it is definitely a reverse negative.
