Goofy or otherwise odd sports cards?

Here's on of my favorite odd cards-Phil Esposito just slipped a jersey on over ugly pants, and wore somebody else's gloves (Espo was # 7 on the Bruins, the gloves are #17)

Just an oddity I noticed. But I like the card.

I know they are others--specially when the cards have been airbrushed with a new uni after a player is traded in between when the picture was taken and the card produced.

One year, someone at O-Pee-Chee got wind of a rumour that Lamaire was going to be traded to Buffalo so they airbushed a card with him in a uniform and claimed he was a Sabre. This never happened and here we are with a card claiming he was a Sabre.

It was the 70s those were considered hip.

Just think a few years later he changed his style

I have a few cards from the O2-03 O-Pee-Chee set with players wearing one-off jerseys. Jonas Hoglund in a St. Pats jersey, and Maxim Afinogenov in the Sabres' "New York" 9/11 jersey.

Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game. They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

This topic can't exist without:

Furthermore, in the "clean" category...

Herb Washington's 1975 Topps baseball card is the only card ever produced listing his position as "Pinch Runner":

Since Herb never batted, his stat line is...well...interesting.

i'm not following this one. unless i'm missing something here.

Join the club. If I had to take a guess, I'd say he's going for the "and we're surprised Ron Washington did coke" joke.

Funny card--but it should be noted that the link you provide is NSFW.

"This one speaks for itself" fails when this many people question what it's saying.
