I'm organizing my collection for 1978 topps and have an odd question. Joe Ferguson is supposed to be #226 but mine says #2 on the back.

I've searched online but can't find any references to it and just want to make sure I'm not losing my mind.
Thx

    I think it's not an error. Is there a burger king logo on front? Might be from the BK set

    He's right

    @SwishIcon You have a Ferguson card #2 from the Burger King Astros team set, also issued by Topps. They used mostly the same photos, but numbered from 1 to whatever the number of cards were in the Astros team set.

    Never mind the logo, my set is a 1980. I don't think 1978 had logos. Pretty sure yours is a burger king card.

    Joe Ferguson was a walking error for his entire career says a lifelong Bills fan.
    Us die hard s had a nickname for Joe.
    Hang your head Joe. Once his head went to his chest no matter the score or quarter, the game was over. Joe’s career highlights were handing off to Simpson left, Simpson right and Simpson middle.

    Beat me too it as I was reading the FB comment. I see another one happening now. The Dodgers just activated pitcher Jake Reed recently, of course not the former Vikings WR. unless new Jake does something big though, the FB player has a better stake to the name in the collecting world.

    I collect Steve Garvey, Dodgers and signed cards. Collector since 1978.

    Thank you all for the help. It is greatly appreciated...now I'm back to organizing my collection. Four weeks down, two to go.

    I know. I just cringe when I see that name. 😂
