Description
This is a notable widespread error from the 2024 Topps Series 1 set. The card features a high-action image of Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino, but the nameplate at the bottom incorrectly identifies the player as Cincinnati Reds Second Baseman Jonathan India. The card features the 'Topps 75' anniversary logo in the top right and the KC/Royals branding, making the 'Jonathan India' text a glaring production oversight.

Authenticity Indicators
