1995 Topps Traded, Beltran's only RC and he is not even pictured on his card. His and Juan LeBron's pictures are swapped on their respective cards. Are there any other instance of this where a player's only RC does not even have him pictured on it?

1988 Topps Al Leiter.....nevermind

@NGS28 While admittedly I dropped out of serious collecting in the mid 90s, as a Royals' fan, I was well aware of the 95 Traded error depicting Juan LeBron on Beltran's rookie card. What I find unbelievable, is that I don't think I've ever been informed that they were swapped, and that Beltran appears on LeBron's card. Ever. And Beltran was OUR GUY for awhile. I don't know how I could have never picked up that information before today. I actually have an opened 95 Traded set somewhere, and am sure I've at least thumbed through it once or twice, and still never made the connection. Thanks for this. Now I'm off to see where I've tucked that set away...
Bonds had many other rookie cards
It's the singer not the song - Peter Townshend (1972)

'69 leonard garcia count?
don't think rodriguez had a '68 card?

This same scenario happened with 1953 Parkhurst RC's of Al Arbour and Bill Dineen, where each player's photo is on the other guy's card.
Additionally, though it is not quite the same situation as the other two, HOF'er 1953 Parkhurst Dickie Moore is his 2nd year card, but the photo is Jean Beliveau and Beliveau's RC is 1953.
Bill Dineen / Al Arbour
'31-'32 Exhibits is considered Rick Ferrell's rookie by some, but the player pictured is not Ferrell and his last name is not spelled the same either:
An even more egregious error is the 1920 W516-1 George Kelly card often considered his rookie. Not only is the image wrong, so is the spelling of the last name AND the position:
On a similar note, Bernie Federko is the player pictured on Rick Bourbonnais' 1977 OPC card:
Apparently, Johnny Ray could commit all kinds of crimes and get away with it, as no witness would every be able to successfully identify him...
1952 Berk Ross Fox / Blackwell
Kiss me twice.....let's party.
Not a rookie card but on the 1956 Aaron card the action photo of Aaron sliding into home is not Aaron. It is actually Willie Mays.
Not trading cards... But UFC 29 Japan had the WW Matt Hughes and MW Evan Tanner pictures accidently switched in the program. They both became division champs
Although not his only rookie card, it's sort of interesting non-the-less.
I kind of wish is was Johnny Ray!

1953 Parkhurst Hockey Al Arbour and Bill Dineen are swapped

Topps got this one completely wrong in every way possible.
I recall there being a lot of discussion about whether Mattingly appears on his 1984 Donruss card. Was this ever settled?
How the heck have I never noticed this before? I've seen this card hundreds, if not thousands, of times and somehow never saw that it's not Aaron sliding.
did you know his ‘57 card was a reverse negative? 😉
What?!? I just assumed he was a lefty for awhile.
