I recently thought it would be fun to collect wrong back play ball cards as they are available, but still a twist to collecting to the play ball set. Soon after deciding to collect them there was a 42 card lot of them listed in a Legendary Auction, I was happy to win. What I haven't found is a check list of known fronts and backs so I thought I would share what I have with those wanting to know.

I am not an expert nor I have not been looking very long so my knowledge of most of this comes from the huge lot I recently bought (along with the few I had bought previously), but I thought it would be helpful to others. If you would like to add any that you know of I will add them to this list.
