When I first started this blog five years ago, a regular feature of the early “Sports Card of The Day” posts were “error” cards – sports cards in which the card company erred in producing the cards. In honor of Rayonsports’ fifth anniversary, today’s featured card is a 1965 Topps football card of Oakland Raider split end Art Powell, who was an American Football League star in the early ’60s. The card, shown above on the left, has a photo that is actually Raider halfback Clem Daniels, who was also a pretty good player for Oakland. Daniels’ actual 1965 card is shown on the right. Powell was one of the AFL’s first marquee players, and was named to the All-AFL team chosen when the league merged with the NFL.
