Can anyone tell me why Joe Nolan has two Topps rookie cards; one from 1978 (#617) and the other one from 1981(#149)?

strange. my first thought was that it was 2 different nolans (it isnt)

thought maybe he didnt have enough atbats to qualify...but wrong era (pre-rookie card designation change)

looks like simply a database error, though id be interested to see if it appears that way in the mags

might be something to send along to bfleischer@beckett.com

Yeah, I'm going with database error, too.
