Team Issued

This post is on reverse negatives in team issued sets. Minor league team issued sets are not included since all minor league cards I have found have been discussed in past posts.

1960 Atlanta Braves Spic and Span #7A Del Crandall. The reverse is the bottom center photo with him batting lefty, and the corrected version is the bottom right photo with him batting righty.

1961 Jay Publishing Detroit Tigers #6 Chuck Cottier

1963 Jay Publishing Milwaukee Braves Sets A and B #NNO Lew Burdette

1967 Philadelphia Phillies Team Picture Pack #3 Jim Bunning

1972 St. Louis Cardinals Team Issue #5A Ted Simmons (reverse pic on right). There is also apparently a rev neg of Ted Simmons in the 1971 LPIU Team Postcard set, but I have not found a scan of it as of yet.

1979 Cleveland Indians Postcards #3 Dell Alston

1979 San Diego Padres Family Fun Centers Dean's Photo #34 Dave Campbell (unlisted).

1983 Boston Globe Boston Red Sox Series 2 #108 Chuck Schilling (unlisted). 

1986 Mother's Seattle Mariners #10 Barry Bonnell (UER, unlisted). One way to tell with this one is that the Mariners logo on his shirt is on the wrong side.

1994 GTS '69 New York Mets Phone Cards #NNO Ed Kranepool (unlisted). You can tell because the N in the NY logo is reversed. For some reason though, there aren't nearly as many reversed Mets hats as there are Yankees hats.

As far as baseball goes, there is also a reverse negative of the Mike Portugal card from the 1994 San Fransisco Giants AMC Theaters set, but I have only seen it listed in price guides. Never ran across a scan of it.

1982 Pittsburgh Steelers Police #44 Frank Pollard (unlisted). The 44 is obviously reversed.

1983 Frito Lay New England Patriots #? Mike Kerrigan (unlisted). Kerrigan should be right handed and the 15 on his jersey is reversed.

1983 Frito Lay New England Patriots #? Ricky Smith (unlisted)

1983 Frito Lay New England Patriots #? Tony Eason (unlisted). Eason should be right handed and the 11 on his jersey is reversed.

There is also a reverse error of the 1981 Patriots Frito Lay #35 Bill Lenkaitis card, which I have seen at one point but did not save a scan of it. For some reason, they really had production problems with these Frito Lay Patriots cards.

1986 Miami Dolphins Law Enforcement #12 Mark Clayton (UER, unlisted). All the jersey numbers in this card are noticeably reversed.

1970-71 Phoenix Suns A1 Premium Beer #8A Dick Van Arsdale. There is also a corrected version of this card. One of the few basketball rev negs out there, this is also a seriously rare card that will cost you a pretty penny if you happen to see it pop up on eBay.

Stay tuned for my next post listing product issued cards (e.g. cards found in cereal boxes and such)...
