Step into a unique moment in baseball history with this pair of 1974 Topps “WASHINGTON” error cards, featuring:


- Dave Hilton #148 – 2nd Base

- Rich Troedson #77 – Pitcher


These cards were printed during a brief window when the San Diego Padres were slated to relocate to Washington, D.C.—a move that was ultimately canceled. Topps had already printed the team name as “WASHINGTON,” making these cards a collector-favorite oddity from the 1974 set.


Card Highlights:

- Both players pictured in Padres uniforms, despite the “WASHINGTON” team label.

- Rich Troedson’s card notes his standout college career and rookie season.

- Dave Hilton’s card showcases his minor league dominance and winter ball success.

- Includes original back artwork and trivia cartoons.


Condition (See Photos):

- Dave Hilton #148: Very Good (VG) – Slight corner wear, minor surface aging, good centering.

- Rich Troedson #77: Excellent (EX) – Sharper corners, clean surface, minimal edge wear.


These cards are ungraded but have been carefully stored and handled. Great for collectors building a 1974 Topps set or seeking historical oddities tied to MLB franchise drama.


📦 Cards will be shipped securely in protective sleeves and top loaders.
