1957 Topps #201 Sandy Amoros
Uncorrected error: Born in '30, not '31 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 Sandy Amoros
Edmundo Amoros Isasi, born January 30, 1930, in Matanzas, Cuba, was a left-handed-hitting outfielder who reached the majors after starring in Cuban winter ball and a 1950 season with the Negro leagues' New York Cubans. Signed by Dodgers scout Al Campanis, he debuted for Brooklyn in 1952 and became a regular left fielder from 1954 to 1957, later playing for the Los Angeles Dodgers (1958-1960) and Detroit Tigers (1960). Amoros is forever linked to Game 7 of the 1955 World Series: in the sixth inning he raced toward the left-field line and made a running one-handed catch of Yogi Berra's drive, then relayed to Pee Wee Reese to double off Gil McDougald, preserving Brooklyn's only championship over the Yankees. He earned the nickname "Sandy" in 1952 for his resemblance to boxing champion Sandy Saddler. He hit .255 with 43 home runs in the majors and was later elected to the Cuban Baseball Hall of Fame.
