Error Gallery: Two cards combined into one

 These are some of the more dramatic errors. Created when the sheets are not sent through the printing press in the proper order, you get the front of one card combined with the back of another- or the card goes through the foil machine incorrectly and gets stamped with another card's foil.

 When I originally got this one, out of a repack, I was sure it was two cards stuck together. Upon further examination, it was not- the front of the card was Loy Vaught, the back was Mark Price! This is from 1993-94 Topps.

 From 1996-97 Upper Deck, you have the front of Derrick Coleman,  but the back- and foil- of Elden Campbell. This one is interesting because you have the Lakers logo on the front, which was a dead giveaway that this one was an error. When turning it over, I was pleasantly surprised to see it was a mismatched card, rather than simply a foil error!

This one kind of hurt...these Hot Shots cards were pretty rare in 1996-97 Fleer Showcase. They were for sure a box hit, perhaps a case hit. This is from the time when creative diecutting was at it's peak...and you have multiple textures on the card as well. Premium stuff then and now. When I pulled Clyde, I was happy...but then I saw that it carried Joe Smith's name and foil. Most of the errors in my collection are duplicates, but this one is not. However, it was one of the first errors I was conscious of pulling from a pack of NBA cards myself, so there's that.

Interestingly, I have not seen any errors of this type ever from Press Pass in NASCAR.

I hope I'm not making an "error" by publishing this at 7:30 on a Friday night...
