I think the card can be considered both a card of the pictured and the named player. For example, the 1987 Donrus Opening Day Barry Bonds card picturing Johnny Ray is considered a Barry Bonds card. If there are any, Johnny Ray collectors likely also consider it a Johnny Ray card. It's an error card, and some error cards have dichotomous information-- which is why they are errors.

A fair guess is that the card maker intended the card to be of the player named, but accidentally got the wrong image. Donrus intended the Bonds/Ray card to be a Barry Bonds card, but accidentally used the wrong image.
