Barry Bonds card with football back

Just a little show and tell of a pretty cool card: The front is a 1991 Topps Barry Bonds but the back is a 1990 Topps football card of Floyd Dixon. Sorry for the blurry / large photos. Still getting used to the scanner.

    That is a very cool card, didnt know they made this type of "wrong season" errors in modern sets....

    I used to have a E92 Cy Young with a E78 (boxers) back, kinds the same type of error.

    fkw, someone recently had on eBay a few Topps baseball cards with 1979 fronts and 1978 backs. They were listed with $6.99 Buy It Nows but no takers. I was thinking of picking a few up but didn't. Now the seller no longer has anything listed. Interestingly, all of the backs were of minor HOFers (Don Sutton, Rollie Fingers, etc).

    Sorry to bust your bubble....but what you have is a Floyd Dixon football card with a Barry Bonds wrong front............

    Nice card!

    I have a T206 Harry Steinfeldt with a Piedmont back overstamped with a Tolstoi back.

  • I picked up a Nolan Ryan with Bo Jackson on the back and a Nolan Ryan RB with a Colts team back.

    I remember hearing these were created by Topps as some type of show promo.

    I once bought a pack of football cards and got a Greg Maddux jersey card in it - from a different company.

    And, no, the pack hadn't been resealed.

  • Could this be proof that Topps was printing sets from the "past" a year later?
