Looking at the boatload of 2021 Allen & Ginter cards that bear the likeness of Dave Hanson -- the Cumberland, Wisconsin native that played college and minor-league hockey before being cast as "Jack Hanson" (of the Hanson Brothers) in the 1977 movie 'Slap Shot'.

2021 Topps Allen & Ginter #275 Dave Hanson

The bio on the back is for a completely different Dave Hanson, a playwright who grew up in Seattle ... and whose IMDb page is adjacent to the hockey goon's!

Seattle's Dave Hanson

So I guess all the cards with the wrong guy's bio are UERs....?

Cumberland, WI? I wasn't aware of that but Cumberland, WI is only about 20 miles from home!

Now I wonder if it wasn't deliberate ... or else someone's really not bright.

Because there's also cards in the set for the other 'Hanson Brothers', hockey players Steve and Jeff Carlson from Virginia, Minnesota.

2021 Topps Allen & Ginter #256 Jeff Carlson

But their back bios belong to different actors named Steve and Jeff Carlson --

Mississippi's Steve Carlson

Those guys look familiar ------------------------------- I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.
