It's fun coming across an error. Apparently undiscovered for decades. I guess Topps didn't employ a proofreader. Do you see it? ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

Jim McMahon hasn't lost a start "as" Soldier Field since 9-30-84..

Must be tough to play dressed-up as Soldier Field. Maybe he was trying to camoflague himself so the opponents couldn't see him. ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

Took me two readings, but I found the error you're referring to without getting a hint. Topps clearly has never, to this day, employed a competent proofreader. I would gladly spend three hours reviewing a set each year and reporting the many typos.

But the bigger error on this card is the dearth of stats on the back. No INTs? No completion percentage? No TDs? No rushing stats? No wonder I didn't keep collecting football cards....
