I'm thinking about starting a project of looking for a card for each auto and building a blog to display them.

Let me know if you do that. I don't check that part of the forum all that often (as all the autos I buy are certified), but if you post here that you've got them up, I'll take a look to see if I can help you.

I got these 2 cards directly from a Score employee back in 1990 along with several other wrong back cards. In the last 23 years I have seen less than 10 Score wrong backs that where not mine first.
They are my most cherished because they are probably a real 1/1 error pair and they both happen to be my all-time favorite players.

Ben, post some pics! I'd like to see them. I like Wade Boggs quite a lot. Roger was a great pitcher, but I always pulled for Dwight Gooden more back then.

Dave, I'm probably in the same boat you are. I don't have anything so special I could never part with it.

I'd say the closest I come right now is my 1971 Roberto Clemente. Clemente was one of my favorite players growing up (Robin Yount being the other). I was only a year and three months old when his plane crashed, but I learned about about him as a little boy, and read everything I could find about him growing up. The '71 Topps was printed the year I was born, and it's the first card of his I bought. So it's special to me.
