This is my kind of list. I always wonder how one researches this type of thing, exactly. Just browse your collection?

I have nine of these cards and only Jerry Morales caught my eye as having something wrong. I need to pay more attention to detail.

Good work.

Thanks

It a labour of love trying to find cards to add to this list. Sometimes I find them by accident. Other times I scroll thru sets by team.

There's a bunch of wrong uniforms in the 1949 and 1950 Bowman sets.

can a card count for this list if the player is shown with the wrong team on only one side?

There are numerous examples in the 1971 Dell team stamp albums (I have all 24 teams). For instance, the Montreal Expos album has three (Claude Raymond, Steve Renko and Marv Staehle) -

Assuming its by year, I didn't see this one listed.
