How should a player's team be listed if the photo on the front has him in one team's uniform, there is no team name on the front or in any header info on the back, but the paragraoh of text on the back mentions that the player has been traded from the team on the front? Similarly but different, what if the player is retired, played for teams A, B, C, and D as mentioned in the paragraph on the back, but is pictured on the front in team B's uniform? 

From the FAQ:

Cards of players in professional uniforms

• What is the hierarchy for assigning teams to cards?
  1. Use team in any "Traded to, Signed with, Now with, etc." statement printed on the card
  2. Use team printed on the front of the card
  3. Use team logo printed on the front of the card
  4. Use team name printed prominently on back of card (not in biographical write-up)
  5. Use team logo printed on back of card
  6. Use team uniform shown on front of card

Does this also apply for the rare occasions when the company put the wrong team on the card?  i.e. 1984 Donruss #589 Rafael Ramirez | Trading Card Database (tcdb.com)   That's always been one to puzzle me.

Per Admin, just like a misspelled name, do not carry a wrong team error into the Team field.
