Reverse negative collection. Almost 20 years in the making!
![RedHeart54](https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/authoricons/5168627727_0.jpg)
I love reverse negatives! They are to me the funniest and goofiest looking errors. I've posted my collection before but I have some updates.
The three cards going from top to bottom on the right side do not have corrected counterparts.
Peace bro. I just learned of this John Lennon. I'm amazed that even though I've collected reverse negatives for nearly 20 years there are still ones that I never knew about. Then again I didn't collect Pro Set Beetles cards. BTW, the Schmidt is reversed on the blue card.

Some well known ones here. The Blades is detected by the number 8 being in the wrong place. Up close you can see the word Seahawks is backwards on his helmet.

After all these years I realized the Bevacqua had been corrected!

Someone please prove to me that this Mike Gallego is easier to find than the Dale Murphy because it took forever for me to find one.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the goofiest looking commentator on ESPN of all?

Here's the money page with Murphy and Littlefield. I'm thinking I should have sent in the Littlefield. Could be a 9. The Darryl Johnston is an interesting freak of nature. The whole front is reversed and not only is the gloss is on the back, but so is Jerry Rice! Probably one of a kind but then again I've never searched for another.

This is why I'm glad we can make good color copies with our computers now. The Thompson, Patrick, and White were one-of-a-kind Topps proofs that were obviously corrected before the final cards were made. I wasn't able to buy the originals but could at least make copies and make "cards" out of them. (Incidentally, if anyone has a crappy, raw 1975 Topps/OPC Craig Patrick lying around I could use it.)
The Alou was spotted by an eagle eye on these boards. Yes, the card states he bats right and is thus shown as a righty. However, he must have been a jokester a la Bob Uecker and posed as a lefty. Topps flipped the pic to make him a righty again. The "N" in the "NY" logo on his hat is backwards.

I have a Barry Zito 2000 Royal Rookies on the way with a reverse negative on the back. I still need the 2007 Topps Joba Chamberlain and the 2002 Topps finest Mike Schmidt autograph. They are usually available on ebay but I haven't liked the prices.
As always please let me know if there's anything I've missed or don't have that you know of. I always imagine there's some obscure minor league card or something that I don't know about but that's what has made this collection fun.

Very cool.
I vaguely remember the Simms error and pretty confident that I have one. Problem is, it's in a box with about 20,000 other random cards. If/when I go through them, I'll keep it mind and will let you know.

Also, though it's not a reverse image, the Packers logo is backward on all of the 1961 Fleer Packers cards.

You may already know this, but that stadium isn't a reverse negative, its simply a rotated negative.

alifaxwa2- I just assumed the Dodgers' Stadium sticker was flipped but now I see it was just rotated. Thanks for pointing that out.
<< <i>There are dozens of cards from the 1920s with reversed negatives, many subsets in the W515, W516, W519 and W520 family of sets have all the cards reversed. >>
I figured there had to have been really old cards with reverse negatives but never knew exactly in which sets. Thanks for giving me some ideas.
1948 Kellogg's Pep Charley Trippi, reverse image and corrected:
Joe Namath 1972 NFLPA Vinyl Stickers, reverse image and corrected:
Dick Butkus 1972 NFLPA Vinyl Stickers, reverse image and corrected:
To decide which of the NFLPA Vinyl Stickers were correct, I compared the images to those on the players' 1972 NFLPA Iron-Ons--and assumed that the images on the Iron-Ons were correct.

thanks for look at the mirror world of cards - bizzaro cards
As far as vintage cards, here is funny one.....
Its a 1921 W516-2-1 card of Hall of Famer George "Highpockets" Kelly with a error caption (spelling, never corrected), and the cards were ALL originally printed in reverse, but this one was pirinted and then stacked while the sheet was still wet so the image of the sheet below it made a mirror image (wet sheet transfer) on the back that would then be the corrected image
PS. FYI, if you go for the strip cards with reverse images, some are not real easy to ID unless you know where to look, the portrait cards without hat or uniform emblems, a good place to look is at the buttons on jersey, if the buttons are on the left of the seam its a reversed image. Also some of copyright logos that are reversed so they are easy.
Seems like just when I think I have every reverse negative (or know about the ones I don't) another pops up. How scarce is that Kellogg's Trippi?
I still need the Ortiz. (Chock it up to the "cheap and I need it but can't find it" thread). I also still need both versions of the 1979 Hostess Bob Bailor. I will eventually get a Joba Chamberlain. There is also new pricey Alex Rodriguez.
<< <i>How scarce is that Kellogg's Trippi? >>
The 1948 Kellogg's Pep cards aren't incredibly scarce; you can usually find a few of them on eBay. I don't know how scarce the reversed Trippi card is, though, compared to the corrected one.

I don't collect them - but do have the 92F Ultra Ripken RN - pulled it in a pack - it's probably about as rare as rocks.
Cool theme collection,
