Just when I think I'm free from reverse negatives, THEY PULL ME BACK IN! (Sorry, GF 3 was on tonight. Couldn't help myself.)
The award for Sharp Eyes goes to nearmint!
By the way, what's with all of those 2011 Leaf Pete Rose Legacy reverse negative chase cards? I can understand the 2002 Upper Deck Authentic reverse negative subset seeing as UD produced one of the more infamous rev negs of the day (Murphy) but a Pete Rose "Legacy" set? Was Leaf trying to be a little too symbolic with Pete having a "mirror-like"...uhhh legacy??
It has been over a year since my last posting here but I recently picked up four more reverse negatives for the collection. I knew about the Jerry Browne, but not of the others. The Milt Cuyler really surprised me because I was well into collecting rev negs by the time his 1993 Fleer Ultra came out. I don't know, maybe it was a known error but just forgot to get it. The Kal Daniels and the Harvey Haddix were unbeknownst to me until I recently found them on ebay.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think the image on Curt Knight's 1971 Topps card is reversed, too. Here is the card:
And here is a proof sheet with a Knight card in the top row:
The image on the sheet is pretty small, but you can see that the picture on the card is a reflection of the one on the sheet. Judging by the way Knight's hair is parted on his 1972 Topps card, the image on the sheet is correct, and the image on the 1971 card is reversed.
Time to dig up an old thread! I noticed today that the image on George Tarasovic's 1960 Topps card is backward. Here it is, along with his 1962 Post card. Check out his jersey number.
Resurrecting an old thread to add another card: I just noticed today that Zeke Moore's image is reversed on his 1976 Topps card.
Here is his 1974 Topps card alongside a flipped image of his 1976 Topps card.

It's clear they're the same image. How can we tell that the 1976 card is the one that's reversed? His 1975 Topps card uses the same image but has his numbers showing, so we know it's correct. The 1974 card has him looking in the same direction as the 1975 card, so the 1974 card is the correct one, and the 1976 card is backward.

hey nearmint,
Those are Pretty Cool...Love that reversed 76...
Actually I have acquired a ton more reverse negatives over the last few years. Many from obscure minor league sets, soccer sets, etc. I need to post some updated scans sometime.

unlike the 89 murphy or most rev negs, the corrected one is actually a lot harder to find....

I guess Zeke was absent a lot on picture day.
Did you ever locate the Joba rev. negative?
Oh yeah, I got a Joba years ago.
