Hall of Fame catcher Bill Dickey, presented so fairly on its front, falls victim to a back swap with crosstown Brooklyn rival Dolph Camilli, creating a memorable "wrong back" variation that most likely reflects how fast things moved on the Play Ball production line, as print sheets could slide out of position during printing, yet still ended up cut and packaged for distribution. While the SGC FR 1.5 grade reflects a mix of typical handling wear on its front and this "100% off-center" back, its true value will follow the interest of Hall of Fame collectors and fans of unusual mistakes like this one!
