Someone at the Topps factory was having a bad day. After printing the photos, they forgot to flip the sheet over before putting it in the printer, so 1) backs got printed on the front and 2) the back got printed on the card it was opposite of on the sheet. So the Griffey father & Son card has Paul Coffey's back printed on the front, and vice versa. The backs are blank. It appears that the gold foil printing was skipped altogether, but the sheet was still cut and then released into the wild. This lot has both halves of the mistake, The Griffeys with a Paul Coffey back on the front, and Paul Coffey with the Griffeys back overprinted.
