Common Football Reverses

There are a decent number of reversed images in the 1960 Topps and 1961 Fleer Football sets. Credit to Vintage Football Card Gallery (footballgallery.com) for information on these.

1960 Topps #20 Doug Atkins UER (pic on left). Atkins wore #81, as evidenced by the card on the right.

1960 Topps #61 Bill Wade UER


1960 Topps #65 Del Shofner UER (pic on left). Compare to card on right.



1960 Topps #97 Frank Varrichione UER. Frank wore #74, which is clearly reversed on this card.



1961 Fleer Wallet Pictures #18 Chris Burford UER. Compare to correct pic on right.


1961 Fleer Wallet Pictures #21 Dan McGrew UER. Compare to correct pic on right.


1986 Fleer Team Action #70 San Diego Chargers Human Cannonball UER.


1987 Fleer Team Action #49 San Francisco 49ers The Rush Is On UER. I like both of these Fleer Team Action reverses because they are wide-angle action photos which you don't see a lot of in reverse negative cards. They are usually just pics of single players, and the amount of detail in these action photos is really nice.

1988 Topps 1000 Yard Club #8 Curt Warner UER. Backwards #28 on the jersey, backwards "Visitor 3" in the background.

1989 Score #176 Brian Blades (UER, back of card). Brian wore #89 for the Seahawks, and it looks like the 8 in #89 is on the right side in the card.

1990 Action Packed All-Madden Team #37 Merril Hoge (back, UER). The #33 on the card is reversed.

1990 Action Packed All-Madden Team #41 William Perry (back, UER). The "C' on the helmet is reversed.

1990 Action Packed Rookie Update #58 Eric Green (back, UER). The "Steelers" on the hat is reversed; you can tell from the backwards S at the end of the hat.

1990 Pro Set #603 Alex Gordon (back, UER). Reversed #55 on Gordon's shoulder.

1990 Pro Set #608 Mickey Shuler (back, UER). Reversed #85 on Shuler's shoulder.

1991 Bowman #313 Kirk Lowdermilk UER. For certain sets in price guides, UER's are listed without a description of the error next to the card listing; it only says "UER." 1991 Bowman is one of these, and I was able to discover the Lowdermilk by looking at each individual UER scan.

1991 Pacific #465A Bubba Parris (reverse pic on the right)

1991 Pacific #542A Mike Croel. I couldn't find a scan of the corrected version, so I am using the 1991 Classic 4-Sport card as an example, since both cards use the same picture.

1991 Wild Card #17 Drew Hill UER. The #85 on the jersey is reversed.

1991 Pro Set Platinum #105 Burt Grossman (back, UER)

1991 Pro Set Platinum #194 Ed West (back, UER). The "G" on the helmet and 6 on the jersey are reversed.

1992 Stadium Club #614 Tony Sacca (back, UER). Backwards #19.

1993 Playoff #114 Brad Baxter UER. Backwards "Jets" on helmet and "30" on shoulder, front of jersey.

1993 Playoff #120 Art Monk (back, UER). Backwards #81 on jersey.
