Default 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:

1973 Topps #456 - Dick Green

Default 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

1965 Topps #134 - Mickey Mantle [EX*MT]
Courtesy of COMC.com

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


1973 Topps #410 - Willie McCovey [Good*to*VG‑EX]
Courtesy of COMC.com

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.


1972 Topps #442 - Thurman Munson (In Action) [VG]
Courtesy of COMC.com

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.

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