<p>I heard about this on the Dan Patrick Show the other day.  He mentioned that Babe Ruth was in the pic as well I think, but I don't see the Babe.</p><p> </p>

It's lame.  The old mistakes that cards would have were legit mistakes.  This is nothing more than a marketing ploy.  They had to get Bush's and Mantle's estate's permission to use their pictures.

They did this to create a buzz and get people interested again. It didnt hurt that this was done with Jeter (yankee) now people will but up cards this year trying to get this card. </p>
