Jerry Snyder - 1957 Topps #22
1957 Topps #22 Jerry Snyder
Uncorrected error: Photo is Ed Fitzgerald It was never corrected, so there is only one version of the card.
The #176 "Bakep" error: the back header reads "EUGENF W. BAKEP," the whole name garbled on the printing plate. It is the ONLY error Topps corrected in 1957, which is why the error back carries the premium — a PSA population near 215, topping out at PSA 8.
About Jerry Snyder
Gerald George "Jerry" Snyder (1929–2022), a Jenks, Oklahoma native signed by Yankees scout Tom Greenwade in 1947, spent his entire big-league career as a middle infielder for the Washington Senators. Acquired on May 3, 1952 in the trade that also brought Jackie Jensen and Spec Shea to Washington for Irv Noren and Tom Upton, Snyder played 266 games at shortstop and second base from 1952 to 1958, batting .230 with 145 hits. His glove made his mark: on July 18, 1955 he took part in five double plays at second base to tie a then-major-league record, and in 1956 he batted a career-high .270. He played 15 professional seasons through 1961, finishing as player-manager of the Macon Peaches. His 1957 Topps card #22 is a famous uncorrected error — the photo is actually Ed Fitz Gerald, the man who would break up Billy Pierce's perfect-game bid with a two-out, ninth-inning double in June 1958.
