I'm thinking it's an umpire Joe.
BTW, nice article of yours on the MLB Blog today.

I think the back gives away what card it is... unless you want to say it is a wrong back error card

nice! I love it.

It is a Mantle with a rare wrong back error.

The card just got better!

I bought a 70 Topps pack a few years back. Complete junk, possibly had been tampered with. At the same time I bought a 75 Topps mini pack and got a way off center Winfield.

Jason:

Your story brought back memories.

My son was born in 1983 and we did a baseball card birth announcement. I bought boxes of 1983 Topps wax packs, opened them, and stuck in our son's card and resealed them to give out. I got multiples of Gwynn, Boggs and Sandberg, but didn't keep any of them. The fun was giving the packs to people (gum included) and watching them open them because they had no idea our son's card was inside!
