Anybody run into this in this years Topps Update?
2014 Topps #US-280 Cole Gillespie
Perfectly fine card of journeyman outfielder Cole Gillespie with a Seattle Mariners jersey and logo on the card. but then flip the card over:
2014 Topps #US-280 Cole Gillespie (b-side)
Also a fine 2nd side to the card. but check out the top left corner. It lists Gillespie with the Toronto Blue Jays. This is actually correct - Gillespie did finish the season with the Blue Jays after being waived by the Mariners as is mentioned on the cards b-sidel.
Is this basically an Uncorrected Error. Gillespie isn't a prominent player, so can't imagine a corrected version with his photo as a Blue Jay on the front being released
Or has anyone found other cards in 2014 Topps that have the traded to team on one side with the former club repped on the front?
This card reminds me of the 60s variations that would be the same card but some of them would have a Waiver or Trade statement if the player got moved during the off-season.

Independence Day

Posting a Nationals card for the 4th of July.
An error on the card is they got the stinkin date wrong. The game as can be seen on the Phungo banner was April 4 2005. Not sure where Topps got the 4/2 date from. According to Baseball-Reference.com There weren't any MLB games at all that day.
And of course for the inaugural season @ the Nationals new ballpark in DC, nobody associated with MLB had the good sense to schedule a home game for the Nats. Instead the Nats are visiting the Reds. I am guessing this is because the traditional home opener has been stolen from Cincinnati and this year took place in Washington.
and of course I leave you with
