Sometimes if you check the back of the card you can find some gems....

Yep, that's definitely the worst airbrush job I've ever seen. The helmet isn't so bad as far as airbrushing of that era went, but failing to remove the Expos logo and that horrible pinstripe job make that card a classic.

You'd think since he'd been with the Mets for several years by then they could have found a photo of him in a genuine Mets uniform. Too funny!

Yeah that card has a lot NOT going for it. The photoshop job is probably the least of the problems with this card. I mean for the era it isn't like it is that off. It isn't like this is a card from 2016 with that photoshop job. But leaving the Expos logo on the card is baffling as the guy doing the photoshop job just removed the Expos logo from the helmet. Did he think people weren't going to see the exact same logo on the jersey? But the most puzzling thing is the guy played on the Mets for several years and they had to go back and use an Expos picture for the card? It isn't like the guy played in very limited action for the Mets as he was hurt or something so I really don't get why this card was so screwed up for Rusty.

I've never seen a graded redemption card before....

You think they could have found a better image of Joe Rudi for a legends set....
