Error card?

So, I recently bought a ton of cards (16 boxes of baseball) from a collector who's just giving up the hobby. Tonight I was just going through a random box sorting out the commons from the guys I know. I found a 1981 Fleer Reggie Jackson card. On the front it says "Mr. Baseball Reggie Jackson" and on the back the number is 79. I went to Beckett just to see the worth (even though I'm not selling it's always cool to see the worth). There were 3 cards, but the one with the front that my card has is #650. So, is this an error on the manufacture or Beckett? Could someone help me? I would really like any info on this card. Thanks!

    There were multiple errors in 1981 Fleer. I collect Jackson and recall at least 3 errors, where the backs of the cards did not match the fronts. If you have a Beckett Annual, there do a good job of listing all the errors.
    I collect Vintage Cards, Commemorative Sets, and way too many vintage and modern player collections in Baseball (180 players), Football (175 players), and Basketball (87 players). Also have a Dallas Cowboy team collection.
