02/26: Hard Hitting Baseball Card News!
Posted by: James
Okay...maybe not. Topps just released their 2007 baseball cards and lo and behold, the Derek Jeter card has been "modified". You really have to check out the picture of the card.
Heh - someone at Quality Assurance at Topps needs to have their eyes checked.
Hat tip to Deadspin for the story.
A closer look at the background reveals a uniformed Mickey Mantle handling a bat in the dugout while behind Jeter, walking through the lower box seats is a smiling, waving President George W. Bush.
"Someone was having a little fun between the final proofing and the printing process," Topps spokesman Clay Luraschi told SportsCollectorsDaily.com. "We first saw the card only after it was printed and honestly, could not do anything but laugh."
