Topps 1980 Test Coins
 

Limited Topps test issue...only 3 coins to set...Garvey, Carew and Jackson. Coins can be found in formats resembling bronze, silver and gold. Some can be found with a hole in the top, maybe for a chain. One of the toughest Topps test issues, from any era. Maybe the toughest Carew and Garvey items for type collectors. The 77 Topps proof of Jackson as an Oriole is probably tougher for him

This is the first time I've seen or heard of these items. There's only 2 grade by PSA -- one Jackson and one Carew. Thanks for the education, Al!
