Cards that show a player in one Uniform but the card says another

I always hated when the card companies did this. In the 1963 Fleer set, there are only 4 Cleveland Indians, and Fleer managed to get only two in a Cleveland uniform (Kindall and Francona, FYI). I remember opening up 1984 Donruss cards and pulling Brook Jacoby rookie cards, playing for Cleveland but in a Braves uniform. And, sadly, the only card of Tim Crews to show him on the Cleveland team has him in his Dodgers uni.

Here is one that shows the WORST of both worlds.

Different uniform AND a POOR airbrush job!

No offense to Tom Haller but Topps couldn't put Kaline,Lolich, Horton or any other Tiger in the IA series. They did manage to put Billy Martin in there. I guess they figured Haller was at least as good as other catchers like Mitterwald, Barton, Blefary,Corrales etc. Topps had a thing for bad catchers in 1972.
