Well, since the card I want to show and tell about has a racing connection to it, I am posting this under both baseball and racing show and tell. Years ago (probably back in 2003 or 2004), as I was working on my Jason Kendall collection on eBay, I found this unique card that I wanted to add to my collection. I bid on it and got it! This card was made by Topps, had a blank back, and has a DRIVER'S name on the front instead of Kendall's. It an error card of the 1997 Topps baseball card #195, and has Ricky Craven's name on the front. Can't remember who I got it from on eBay or how much it was..I know it wasn't that much though. Below is a scan of the card with the ACTUAL base card from 1997 Topps baseball to show the difference between just the fronts of them:

I know to some error cards don't mean much. Heck, some of the ones I see for Kendall I don't even want to try for, but this is one I did. This is just something that I am proud of from my Jason Kendall collection, and just thought I would share it with everyone under both baseball and racing show and tell, since it does have a racing connection. Thank you for your time, and hope you all have a great day!

That is very unique. Thank you for sharing that with us. I have never seen that error before. Did topps even make racing cards in 2003 or 2004?

Thanks,

Thank you for the comment. This is a bizzarre card as this is a 1997 Topps baseball card, and I only know of Topps making racing cards in 2003...and that was towards the end of the year with the eTopps cards. I haven't seen this card much after that auction that I won...maybe once or twice. Again, I just want to make it clear that I got the card in 2003 or 2004, and that the card is suppose to be a rare error card of the 1997 Topps card. Hopefully I didn't confuse anyone!

I am not sure about this, but I think I got it from 'apache-moon' or something like that. Not sure as I have gotten lots of cards and items for my collections since then on eBay.

I should have been more clear in my post. I knew it was a 1997 Topps card but I didn't think Topps made any racing cards until after 2003 or 2004. Either way that is a very cool card. Does Topps make any racing cards now?

No. Topps doesn't make racing cards now, but I wish they would. They haven't since the eTopps in 2003. It is only Press Pass in racing.

That is a very interesting card..The first time I ever saw one like it...very cool for the collection...Thanks Ed

Thank you everyone for your comments on this! Have a nice day!
