Extremely rare printing error which misspells Hall of Fame pitcher Tim Keefe's first name as "Jim." Clearly an actual typographical error as opposed to an oddity or problem with the printing plate this is the first example of this error that we have handled and one of just two or three known to exist. Though the pose is checklisted as card #251-2 it is possible that this variation should have a new checklist number as there are two known examples of this pose with this particular error. The card has been graded GOOD 2 by PSA overall wear responsible for the grade. Corner rounding and a faded image are consistent with PSA's assessment though condition is hardly relevant when considering the rarity of an error of this nature. Printing errors have long been desirable among advanced collectors; this is one of the earliest - and most rare - examples.
