Not exactly, but the mix-up is fairly shameful; for a high-end product, you'd think they'd do whatever it takes to not mess it up.

Story
Topps has confirmed that the following 5 memorabilia relic cards from the recently released 2009 Topps Tribute Baseball Set include pieces of stadium seats rather then actual game used memorabilia belonging to a particular player:
Babe Ruth Dual Relic Bat / Old Yankee Stadium Seat
Babe Ruth Triple Relic Old Yankee Stadium Seat / Uniform / Old Yankees Stadium Seat
Ty Cobb Dual Relic Bat / Tiger Stadium Seat
Jackie Robinson Triple Relic Ebbets Field Seat / Bat / Ebbets Field Seat
Mickey Mantle Triple Relic Old Yankee Stadium Seat / Uniform / Old Yankees Stadium Seat
Topps will replace any of the above cards with a pack of 2009 Topps Tribute Baseball or comparable product for collectors that are not satisfied with their card(s).
In addition, every card in 2009 Topps Sterling Baseball features game-used bat and game-used uniform except for one subject—Carl Erskine, which features Erskine’s autograph with stadium seat. The New York based manufacturer says that they will replace this particular card with a pack of 2009 Topps Sterling Baseball for collectors who are unsatisfied with it.
Topps asks that you send all items that you would like replaced to the address listed below (Allow 2-4 weeks for delivery):
The Topps Company
ATTN: Seat Relic Replacement
401 York Avenue
Duryea, PA 18642
To prevent any further confusion in the future, Topps says that stadium seat material will not be used in in their products unless they are part of a special stadium seat specific insert.
