Anybody ever see a card like this?

Maybe I just haven't been paying attention, but I have never seen a card like this. Is there any extra value to it? Probably not.

If you will look closely, there is the back of a card lightly printed on the front. The "back" printing on the front of this card is for card #136, which is Darrel Chaney. So the front of this card has both the back and the front printed on the front.

Even if it doesn't have any value, I thought it was neat.

Is that still considered a ghost image even if it's the stats?

Wet transfer... Usually transferred when the sheets are stacked before ink has dried. You'll get back images on fronts and front images on backs depending upon which ink is still wet.

I also came across another interesting 1972 Topps card - a Jim Lefebvre. It looks like it has a coating on it - like gloss. Is that common? Did someone spread something on it? Is that something from the factory?

I have three 72's just like yours, and a 70.

Yep...wet sheet transfer. Not much value to them as they are really printing flaws than anything else. Some might pay a premium but not much of one.
