Interestingly Covington’s single card #484 has Wes in a Cubs uniform, two Covington cards two different teams same year.

Covington got traded to the Cubs in January, so I guess they'd already printed the 1st series card with him in the Phils uniform. Same thing with the 1963 "Buc Blasters" card, which features Dick Stuart in his Pirates uniform with Clemente, Burgess and Skinner. The back mentions Stuart was traded in the winter and "the fans in Forbes Field will miss his explosive power this summer."
