Three legendary cards in 2016 Panini National Treasures have a mistake -- and Panini America will fix them for a collector who finds one.

One is a NFL Gear Quads Laundry Tag of four legendary quarterbacks -- Peyton Manning, Dan Marino, Tom Brady and John Elway. The mistake occurred during production as the card's labeling should indicate that some of the players' tags are from player-used and not game-worn jerseys.

"We are disappointed the error occurred, but it was truly an honest mistake with no intention of trying to mislead our customers," reads a statement from the company. "All other parallel levels of these cards do contain game-worn material, and this mistake occurred because the laundry tag reservations from the player-worn jerseys were missed when routing the cards for approval. Obviously, this is something that we will be more diligent about in the future."
