238.0. "Who is Rock Raines ...?" by FRAGLE::GUTIERREZ () Wed Feb 06 1991 13:25


		Has anyone noticed the following error that has gone
	undetected for at least 2 years: 

	1990 TOPPS	name on card		name on Beckett's
	card # 180	Rock Raines		Tim Raines

	1991 TOPPS	name on card		name on Beckett's
	card # 360	Rock Raines		Tim Raines

	If you don't believe it, take out your cards and check them out,
	I haven't seen this error listed in any of the cards magazines
	I read (Beckett, Sports Cards Trader). Is this really an error,
	or is there an explanation for this discrepancy ?. If it is an
	error, I can believe it has gone undetected this long ...

	Its just Tim Raines nickname. Check out Dwight Gooden cards his nickname "Doc" appears on them. No error or variation. John

	Raines has requested that his name be listed as Rock and not Tim. If you were astute enough to discover this " error" how did you miss the "Doc" Gooden error in both sets? joe_with erroneous tongue in cheek! :;)
238.3	No consistency here	FRAGLE::GUTIERREZ		`Mon Feb 25 1991 14:31`	4
	If Raines requested that his name be listed as Rock and not Tim, then why does it only appear as Rock in TOPPS sets and not in DONRUSS sets ?.
238.4	Xcuse me-Is your hat on Backwards?	ASDS::KELLY		`Mon Mar 04 1991 11:13`	3
	The only player in the Bigs that has made a demand that his name be shown in a certain way-and made it stick is Jeffery (don't call me Jeff) Leonard.
