Great Card, Wrong Player Image

This is Irv and when I bought him, a long time ago, I thought it was really CY.

I still don't think this card was supposed to picture Cy Young just because it says Cy. Irv Young was called Cy Young back then, sometimes Cy the second, but do you really think they would write out all that on a card? In the early days, they had no problem repeating nicknames if players had the same last name. Even Harley Young was called Cy Young and he went 0-3 in his brief career. If you ever read old papers from when both Cy Young and Irv Young played, sometimes they called Cy Young "Old Cy Young" to differentiate the two players. In my opinion, there wasn't any mistake on that card.

The 1963 Topps card #113 of Don Landrum is actually Ron Santo.
The 1959-1960 Topps Football cards of Green Bay Packers Jim Taylor actually are cards of Chicago Cardinals Jim Taylor.
