Cards with misspelled names

[cgjackson222]

I really like cards with misspelled names. It often occurs in player's earliest cards.

Perhaps the most famous pre-war card with a misspelled name is Sheri Magie T206 error?

I don't have one of those, but I do have the attached, which I really like.

What other cards do people think of that have misspellings?

When it comes to misspellings, I like to display this E220 Bagby that has an added special 'k'.

Here's a couple of T206 examples:

Not a lot of non-oversized Rogers Hornsby cards with the Cubs so sometimes you have to settle for a Roger Hornsby.

Here's one with two letters wrong creating a different name/pronunciation:

Silent K at the end of a name is not something you see everyday. Wow.

Misspelling Ty Cobb's name 17 years into his career and after he has won all of his 12 batting titles is a real head scratcher.

Does anyone know where the heck they got Pictbred from?

Also, here is a picture of the aforementioned Joe "DeMaggio" Zeenut.

I got this card slabbed recently, and it wll soon be in a REA auction. SGC did not note HOFer Ross Youngs correct name on the slab, despite my noting this on my submission form.

Kinda silly, but I remember when George Bell cards suddenly became Jorge Bell cards, and my ready-to-start-hoarding-self sent a letter to Topps to ask if it was some sort of error.

Alas, I'm still awaiting a reply...

Hahaha! Kind of reminds me of when Albert Belle was briefly called “Joey” on his cards.

Reminded me of David "Arias" Ortiz.

Lou Burdette, Mike Cueller, more than once I think.

I always wondered if that was Ossie's middle name or nickname...but it doesn't seem to be either.

Of Reds Misspellings the '54 exhibit is probably the worst offender. Where as most errors are minor and flip the I and E his batting Exhibit straight up dropped the E. Pretty bad.
