Card Identification Forum

I acquired a massive collection years ago from a family member that I have only recently started going through. I found a card that I believe is a misprint because it has Sam Horn on front and Scott Erickson on the back, but I can't find any reference to a misprinted card matching this discription. Any help identifying its value would be appreciated. 

It's a recurring question that has it's own FAQ link:

And welcome to the site!

Would you sell it?

Once upon a time, Sam Horn was the next Babe Ruth.  If you can find a fan who just woke up from a cryogenic sleep, he might give you seventy-five cents for it.  The wrong back means he cant see Horn's actual stats.

Thanks for the responses. Yes, I am interested in selling, but as I think I mentioned, this is a very large collection that is new to me. It is going to take a while for me to go through. Some of the boxes are organized, but most are not.

Any suggestions on the best way to organize a very large (thousands of cards) collection? I'm thinking by year, then by manufacturer (Fleer, Score, Topps,...). Should I then go by card number or team or something else?

I'm also going to seperate the ERR/VAR cards and sort them the same way. I came across another '91 Fleer with Mickey Tettleton (front) and Mark Guthrie (back).

It depends on what you want to do with them. Are you building sets putting together collections of favorite teams/players? If you’re logging the cards on here I would organize by manufacture then year and by number within set. This will make it easier to log them. If you want to sell them you might want to organize by team and sell team lots. And welcome to the site!

Wrong back cards are a niche market. Your average Joe sees them as damaged goods, but there are pleny of people who go for them. Just as there are also people who go for miscut and off-center cards. I think the hobby is mixed on whether they are worth more than or less than a normal non-mistake card.

I was not aware of this issue till I joined the site a few years ago and saw discussions on these types of printing errors.  It explained the one card I do have like this.  Most of the time, and for the ones you describe in your collection, I would not look to add them to my collection but the one I do have is a keeper for me.  It is a 1968 OPC card that has the 1967 NL ERA Ldrs on the front (Phil Niekro/Jim Bunning/Chris Short) on the front and the back is card # 58 Ed Mathews.  Three HoF involved.

It would have to be a player I collect to want to add such a card into my PC.

Sam Horn is one of those interesting players with a sizeable gap in his stats on all the popular reference sites.  Between 1996-2000, Horn played in Taiwan for both the Chinese Professional Baseball League and the short-lived Taiwan Major League.  Unfortunately, there is no reliable source for stats from Taiwan, lots of players (Joe Strong, Sil Campusano, Ron Jones, Sandy Guerrero, Luis de los Santos, etc.) just have gaps in their records at Baseball Reference and The Baseball Cube.
