ERRORS
UPDATE (7/2021)
1993 Card #955 - Hal Wiltse
Recently, I
received an Email from a relative of Hal Wiltse (Card #955), informing
me the card Bio and stats were correct, but the photo was not of her
great-uncle - but of Tony Welzer. A short investigation proved this to
be true. It's likely that Megacards mislabeled the printing plate back
in 1993 which caused the error. As far as I know, no one else in the
collector's hobby has found this error.
In any case, I'm including the original Card #955 and a corrected "card" as it should have been.
