As you know, this card wasn't just an error. It had a swear word. And it wasn't just a swear word. It was the swear word to end all swear words.

I probably have some Canseco stuff like that, is there a decent checklist for his cards showing the card number? Theasiest one for me to find would be the 88 score since th boxful I'm going through is in the next room. A lot of the other stuff I got rid of the extras a few years ago.

I can send you details of the odd stuff that's part of the overall production.
