Embarrassing cards
 

Show the cards that should never have been printed: player swinging through a strike, committing an error, with their fly open, with out of focus players in the shot, etc.

Here's one:

Always thought this was a bit much.

Topps 1964
 

Card 134 of the 64 set purports to show Mantle hitting a "clutch" home run off Cardinal Barney Schultz but in fact shows him whiffing on a Bob Gibson fastball

Yep, you can see the catcher's bare hand covering the mitt.

McCovey is tracking a foul ball, with his eyes completely shadowed, as far as I can tell.

The 1972 Clemente In Action is a classic, but was definitely intended.

This, however, shows little to any action.

Great topic, and the OP pic of the Dick Green card is the first one I think of on this topic (of course, I was an A's fan as a kid living in Cali). Always thought it was unjust, as Green was a tremendous fielder.

Don't have copies to post, but two that come to mind are '58T Red Wilson and '64T Sadecki. The former looks like he has a t*t peaking out of his uni; the latter has the word, "ass" on a bg billboard.

This pic is Aaron's HR to clinch the pennant, as corrected in the Nu Cards set of the following year.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...e5ff4b234c.jpg

Pitcher Ron Bryant would go 14-7 in 1972 and win 24 game in 1973...but your "In Action" shot is you....bunting....for an out.....

LOL. I assume that card was later edited?

it was. older scan, but here's the corrected version:

Any idea how long they were around before being edited?

Funny card to own.:)

I've seen that one before. Doesn't get much more embarrassing than that.
