Night Owl Cards

I came across this card the other day while reorganizing some Score cards. See if you can tell me what's wrong with it. If you aren't hindered by Mariners-Brewers blindness like me, you probably spotted it right away. But if you are, then it's been 25 years and you're just discovering this now.

I blame the Mets fans for that. So I snapped these up quick. Here is a 1993 Donruss (I can't believe I still need Dodgers from this set), a 1995 Topps cyberstats , a 1994 Stadium Club HR Club member, and a 1993 Triple Play. Next up, som...
