1954 Bowman counterfeit method?

[GeoPoto]

Here's one from 1941:

Rotated print sheet is not the only way to get a wrong back situation, although it seems to be the most common. There are times where a print sheet was run through the front of one machine and then they accidentally swapped the sheets with a different print sheet back before noticing it. Sometimes this even happened across sports or print runs.
I remember that a set like 1989 Topps football had some nonsports wrong backs. One of the early Magic the Gathering TCG sets had another misprinted backs issue. https://www.eternalcentral.com/themi...-backed-cards/

Also happened with 91 baseball and 90 football.

Well I can't answer the question in the thread's title regarding 1954 Bowman, I can show at least one method how 1955 Bowman cards are "counterfeited"/altered...

I pulled this creation out of a recent lot purchase. Apparently, a previous owner of these cards felt the need to "fix" Bowman's error.

That's the year I was thinking about.

Hi all,

Here is the update! Sent the card off to SGC for grading and it's back on it's way to me as of today (love the fast SGC turnaround times-they received August 27th).

Card did grade a 3, which is actually higher than I expected. They do list it as an Andy Seminick #172 card, with no mention of Larsen on the label. Thought that a bit strange, since all the other examples posted here had the name of the player on the front of the card listed on the label. Pics of the graded card attached here. Don't yet have it in hand it's currently in the mail from SGC. Hopefully it makes it here safely.

I think they did not pay attention to what they were doing. But at least you got it slabbed.

I guess so. When I submitted it, I listed it as "Don Larsen #101 Seminick wrong back" but they decided to change it to a Seminick identifier.
