I'm confused--looks like the right back to me--it is Sain back on Sain front. How is that the error? I thought the error was Sain front with Page back. Am I confused?

The bio in the middle of the back is for Joe Page. The rest of the back -- the top part and the stats on the bottom -- applies to Sain. So it's 1/3 wrong.

Further, while the stats are for Sain, I think they are incorrect for 1951. Also, Joe Page didn't even play in 1951 or 1952, so it's really wierd that his bio shows up by mistake.

Interesting card.

Strange card. The career stats are Joe Page's but the 1951 stats are confusing. They appear to be for the part of 1951 that Sain spent w/the Yanks (he was a Brave most of the year) but they are slightly off according to the official record.

It says on the card that stats from both from the major and minor league record are included. I suspect that what is shown are Joe page's 1951 minor league stats which were by coincedence very similar to Sain's 1951 numbers w/the Yankees.
