F*ck Face snuck into baseball card for the second time

People wondered how something as blatant as this got in Billy Martin's 1989 baseball card. President Bush and Mickey Mantle want to know too.

Billy Ripkin, not Billy Martin.

You mean Bill Ripken? Wasn't Billy Martin dead by 1989?

Or Ripken. Must be something about Billy that causes mistakes.

Great! So is this going to make baseball cards relevant and valuable again? Because I have this huge box in my parents' basement...

President Bush smiles and waves from the stands, right, and Mickey Mantle looks on from the dugout at left, as Derek Jeter swings his bat. You think that's something? I've got an Honus Wagner card with Jolly Dick Cheney in the background flipping the bird.

Go O's? And yeah, that's Ripken, not Martin. Billy Martin was with the Tigers. And this isn't even baseball, but somewhat related.

Holy shit, I forgot about that. My best friend growing up got his hands on one of these and we giggled about it in the corner as if he'd come across a Playboy featuring Suzanne Sommers (hey, we were ten). I'm meeting him for dinner tonight, I should see if he still has it. Get himself a mean $5-$15. From zennie's link: Washington insists his gesture is a popular hand gesture among his friends in his hometown. That's true. It just so happens that it's also a popular hand gesture among everyone's friends in every town.

I like that there's even a link to "flipping the bird" in Wikipedia.

...got in Billy Martin's 1989 baseball card. So, then this is the 'error version' of this thread? Later versions of this thread will be corrected, right? Maybe this'll be worth something someday.
