2004 Heritage - error?

Like most, I enjoy reading the backs of cards when they have a brief write up. Obviously a fun part for me is that I also have long been a fan of looking for errors. I am well aware the popularity of errors is long gone and these days it will go as an UER anyways, but I still enjoy looking for them anyhow. After opening and sorting some Heritage, I began reading the backs. I was just reading THC39, a chrome of Smoltz, when I read the following:
"John has turned out to be an even better relief pitcher than he was a starter - though that hardly seems possible. A former Cy Young Award winner (when he won 24 games in '96), he battled arm woes for awhile, but came back reborn as a closer in '03. He saved 55 games that year, and might have done it again in '03 had not more soreness cropped up in August. Here's hoping he's healthy in '04."
So obviously this is an error and they should have written that he was reborn in '02, saving 55 games. For kicks I am wondering if anyone else has one of these and what does yours say? Does anyone have the non-chrome SP #437 Smoltz and what does that one say? Lastly, has anyone else found any other goofs for this set?

i have numerous mis-spelled name cards
one that states the player on one team on the front, then says he's on a different team on the back.
one that has the logo of the players team on the card that is black and white, while every other card in the set has color logos... not like they forgot to add the blue... it's the full logo, just in black and white...
