Collective List of Errors in 2011 Bowman Draft

[trogdor]

Figured we could get this going and then hopefully an email to Topps may help (probably not). But it would help us too as well. I'll try to keep this as updated as possible! Please read this list before posting!

1. Kolten Wong Draft Pick Numbering is Incorrect
2. Aflac autographs are not numbered, Making easier to fake
3. Kolten Wong Chrome Card is numbered BDP90 instead of BDPP90
4. Kolten Wong's Base non Chrome card is numbed BDPP91 instead of BDPP90 making two different BDPP91
5. Levi Michael is pictured as a Texas Ranger while he is really a Minnesota Twin
6. Archie Bradley pictures on card. UGLY
7. Dylan Bundy picture on card UGLY
8. John Hicks says pitcher on front of card. Says catcher on the back
9. Mike Wright is picture as a Washington National even though he is a Balitmore Oriole

i think if someone complied everything together in a professional manor and emailed in one big letter to mlb, mlbpa, and topps might make a few heads turn

[S.Gallagherfan6]

the aflac thing is bad. but ok they got a some team names and draft pick # worng. but at least the condition of the cards are good. Also people that are opening cases seem to think this is a great product

[Ajax1723]

Misnumbering of Kolten Wong's Chrome card, says BDP90 instead of BDPP90, on his regular prospect card, it's misnumered 91 instead of 90, therefore there are two 91s and no #90.

Levi Michael being on the Rangers instead of Twins

That's all I know of myself off the top of my head.

aflac, some of the jersey numbers are different on certain player's base cards compared to their auto cards, wrong teams, wrong positions, wrong draft pick number and round, terrible photoshopping, mislabeled "1st bowman chrome cards" (on the usa players' base card, it just says "bowman chrome" but on the auto cards, it says "1st bowman chrome") on the back of some players' cards, it just says "first debut card of the players' name. im sure if you went through every card you'd find plenty more.

[27andcounting]

also, the dylan bundy and archie bradley pictures.... seriously?

[mikecancelliere]

Wow they really messed up this product

[RatedRookie]

Michael Wright is wrong.

[Hail2TheVictors]

John hicks says pitcher on the front of the card, and catcher on the back(or vice versa, can't remember), has him in a Diamondbacks uni yet on the back says he is a 4th round pick of a different team(can't remember team name).

Quite the epic fail by Topps there. But, lets just be real here-they couldn't care less.

[trogdor]

Please be as specifiac as possible. Thanks!

This one makes me laugh. I can understand the numbering errors, since they have them in every product, but really? You can't figure out who he was drafted by and photoshop the right uniform on him? Just laughable.

[27andcounting]

cj cron's jersey number is 23 on base cards, 24 on autos.
sonny gray's jersey on base cards is 2, and 72 on autos. It might be the other way around for those two though but i know they're different.
Dan Gamache is pictured in a twins uni, he was drafted by the pirates

[enjoyale81]

Pineda is on the box and he's not even in the product

[dbaks]

I was shorted an auto in one box I opened.....but I guess that's more of my problem :devil:

[RatedRookie]

Michael Wright is an Oriole. Card has him in a Nats uni.

what ? how ? error on photshop ? damn it i cant stand these stupid errors. no excuse for it. i dont think they care either

He was drafted by the Orioles, signed with the Orioles, MiLB shows him on the Orioles, and players can't be traded within a year of being drafted, so unless I'm missing something, he's an Oriole. If I am missing something, then apologies to Topps.

But otherwise, yeah, conclusion can only be that even if they care, they don't care enough, as that's now three guys (along with Levi Michael and Dan Gamache) that they've got on the wrong &$*#&@! team. How do you take the time to photoshop a guy into a uniform, but not the time to check which uniform to use? That's one step above putting pictures on the cards with nobody in them at all. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Gerrit Cole's first Bowman card next season has a picture of a lawnmower on the front, lists his team as the Virginia Squires, and shows Giorgio Chinaglia's 1977 stat line for the New York Cosmos on the back.

I guess they're too busy coming up with the two dozen insert sets for 2012 Series 1. I hope they do a set where they show a current player and a historic player from each team who had the same initials. They can show both their rookie-year stats and call it 'Initial Performance.' That'd be so sweet.

[mma138]

i wish they wouldnt photoshop anything. what ever happened to "real photos" if you cant get a real photo of the athlete in his uniform then dont produce his card yet .

[Laxbam619]

I just saw the picuters of bradley and bundey....are you f'ing kidding me topps? that was really the best you could do was a freakin' mugshot?

that really is sad, the rest of the listed errors don't really bother me...i mean it shows pour effort on their part, but I think we've all come to terms as to what to expect from these jack-wagons

the aflacs not being numbered are bothersome aswell, and can lead to these being as counterfiet as pujols' buybacks in the future

According to Topps Dylan Bundy was drafted in the 4th round on his autographed card and he was drafted in the 1st round on his normal card :rolleyes:

He was drated #4 overall...on the autos, they have the overall draft pick. The base prospects list the round. I know, it's stupid.

[mma138]

awful ......................

[rkuhn3]

Michael Wright is wrong.

Kolten Wrong is wong.

[achantl]

John Hicks was drafted by the mariners as a catcher, his card has him in a dbacks uni and says pitcher.
