Weird Card Wednesday: 1963 Gerald ‘Slim’ Kindall

Every week, one of you readers gives me a reason to keep Weird Card Wednesday alive.  This time it was Tom Zuppa who emailed me with a card with an issue I hadn’t seen before. 

Tom Z. emailed a scan of his Gerald ‘Slim’ Kindall’s original 1963 card.  Here’s the front of Kindall’s card:

While he may be a possible candidate for Terrible Tuesday, there isn’t anything too odd about it. 

But now take a look at the back of Kindall’s card:

Wow, something went wrong at the print shop. 

My two thoughts when saw this:

1.  Given that APBA prints thousands of cards a year, I’m actually surprised this doesn’t happen more often.

2.  If this happened to Slim Kindall in the 1963 set, I’m wondering how many others in the ‘63 set were maligned in a similar way.

thanks Tom Zuppa!!

I am an IT consultant by day and an APBA media mogul by night. My passions are baseball (specifically Illini baseball), photography and of course, APBA. I have been fortunate to be part of the basic game Illowa APBA League since 1980 as well as a frequent participant of the Chicagoland APBA Tournament. I am slogging through a 1966 NL replay and hope to finish before I die.
