At first glance, J.R. Phillips’ 1999 card looked to be a Terrible Tuesday contender but how could I do that with his power numbers 1-5-6-6? My general rule of thumb is if a card has characteristics of a Monster Card AND a Terrible Card, it probably belongs in Weird Wednesday. So be it.
But the strangest aspect of J.R. Phillips’ 1999 card is his 31-17. It’s becoming more commonplace for APBA to relocate the error number to someplace other than 53 these past few years. However, this card was published in 1999. Pitchers excepted, I don’t remember APBA doing that too often back then.

Phillips also has no 14s but rather one 42 (for his one HBP) at 45.
