A former All-American at the University of Miami and one-time Pro Bowler with the New England Patriots, Fred Marion was a solid safety throughout his playing career.

Solid enough that you would think he intercepted the pass in this photograph, as the ball is all but firmly between his two hands.

However, somehow he managed to drop this ball as the stat sheet for the game in which this photo was snapped, a 37-20 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, show neither Joe Montana nor Steve Young with any interceptions that day.

But, neither Fred Marion nor that botched pick has anything to do with the value of this card and it has everything to do with a stumbling John Taylor falling to the ground behind him instead.

If you look closely, Taylor's belt is hanging out in such a way to give the appearance of a certain bodily appendage hanging out instead.

Pro Set eventually caught the issue and fixed it with a bit of airbrush magic.
