Below are the error cards I have spotted in the baseball sets I collect. (Not including minor typographical errors.)
1963
Eli Grba's card has a photo of Ryne Duren.
Ken Hubbs' card is missing the position.
1964
Phillies Rookies card (that features Dave Bennett) says "This 19-year-old pitcher is just 18 years old!"
1965
Reds' catcher Don Pavletich's card has a position of "Pitcher".
Jim Kaat's last name is mispelled on the front as "Katt". (I refuse to believe this is a typo. Some flunkie at Topps just didn't know how his name was spelled.)
1966
Dick Ellsworth's card has a photo of Ken Hubbs, Ellsworth's teammate who died 2 years earlier.
George Banks' position is OF-3B on the front, 3B-OF on the back.
1967
The first Tigers Rookies card has an incorrect photo (corrected on the 2nd rookies card).
The White Sox team card has the Cleveland Indians' statistics on the back.
Milt Pappas' card is missing the autograph.
On Harmon Killebrew's card, the team name "TWINS" should be green, not yellow.
On the Twin Terrors card, the card name (in place of the team name) should be green, not purple.
On the Sox Sockers card, the card name (in place of the team name) should be purple, not orange.
Luis Aparicio's position is "INFIELD" on the front, "SHORTSTOP" on the back.
Johnny Klippstein's card has pitching stats on the back, but with a "Batting Record" heading.
Charlie Lau's first name on the back of the card is "Charley".
1968
The Topps rookie trophy is missing from the cards for Rick Monday, Dick Hughes, and Rich Nye.
1969
Aurelio Rodriguez's card has a photo of the Angels' bat boy.
The photo on Larry Haney's card is reversed.
SF Giant Frank Johnson's card has a cartoon on the back that says he plays for the Cubs.
1970
The Topps rookie trophy is missing from the card for Carlos May.
Gil Garrido's card has his name misspelled as "Gill" on the front.
Woody Woodward's and Richie Scheinblum's cards have their positions shown as S.S. and O.F. respectively. The periods are not necessary!
