Boardwalk & Baseball 1987

[ALR-bishop]

Has anyone else collected this set. It is a Topps co branded boxed set of 33 ( Topps logo is on back of the cards) and the set is check listed on the box. Fairly nice looking set and easy to put together, unless you try to include the variation of each card in the set. All the cards can be found with or without a slash line between the BBs in the logo on the front. The no slash versions are pretty scarce and more expensive than their common counterpart

The bulk of the no slash variations found online recently have come from newly cut complete error set sheets (4 sets per, I think).

There are two other variations:

Faint slash (all other black ink properly printed on card)

Askew slash (slash is not in center of B & B but through one of them)

Figures . I don't have any transition cards for my B&B sets but have a bunch as extras with my 82 Blackless set.

Do you have any examples of the B & B transition cards you can post

Not handy but I’ll try and post a pic if I can locate some of my old ones. I had 8-10 players with the faint (transparent/gray) line on front. I’m pretty sure Schmidt and Gary Carter were two I found with the line through the B on front instead of between them.

The no slash are supposed to be rare but they have been all over ebay the last couple years.

Because someone recently had uncut sheet(s) cut up. Four sets per sheet, if I recall.

I do recall someone posting images of a card with the slash in the wrong spot.
I want to say that not only was it not between the B's, but was higher on the card, inside the image area too. I could be wrong though.
