In my experience the toughest 80s Topps sets for me to assemble ( as listed in SCD), were the 82 Blackless, 84 Encased ( head in box prototype proofs), 85 minis in blank bank, regular back and red only back ( have not finished the red backs), the 88 Cloth and 89 Big Head Suckers . The 80 coins were the toughest but are not cards

I find the 1980-1990 era very rewarding to collect. Although some of the period pre-dates me (born in '85), I know all the players and you can still find a lot of unopened at reasonable prices. Not a huge fan of the design of most of the sets from 1991-1994 and I simply can't keep track of all the sets that inundated the market after '94.

James-- agree on the Met/Yankees DHs as another tough one. Even tougher are the prototypes of that test issue.

The set with the 1988 card, some call them prototypes or proofs but I don't think they are either. They were sold in very limited places so I think they are a test. You have a wrapper from that issue, correct?

Back when I was selling a ton of cards in the late 90's I had a chance to buy a case of the 89 Mets/Yankees. I passed and bought a few cases of the 89 & 90 All-Stars instead. Wish I would have bought them all.

Ok back to the 1982 regular set blackless situation. Since I was reminded of this thread, I have been checking my 1982 cards (they are scattered about, so it is no simple task) and so far have not run into anything them... maybe...
So far all of the examples of the (accepted) Blackless have been either the regular player cards or the All Star versions. None of In Action, Team leaders or Checklists. When I went through mine, I only have all 6 checklists. 1-3 are "blackless" (ie they are missing the black border around the photo frame) although they may have orange or red frame and 4-6 are normal. #129 - Checklist 1-132 #226 - Checklist 133-264 #394 - Checklist 265-396 #491 - Checklist 397-528 #634 - Checklist 529-660 #789 - Checklist 661-792 Quick look on ebay active listings, results: 129 - none have black frame 226 - none have black frame, some have light orange frame 394 - all have orange or red frame 491 - all have black frame 634 - all have black frame 789 - all have black frame Here is an ebay listing (not mine) that has a good look at all 6, you can definately see a trend between the first three and the second three. https://www.ebay.com/itm/173989561330 I will try to remember to get a scan of the ones I have. |

The Blackless "set" is check listed (396) in several sources and does include IA cards ( any and all cards from sheets A, B and C ). None of the CLs in the 82 set are on the A,B and C sheets. Some are on the D sheet and one seller has offered some Blackless cards from the D sheet but it is unclear if all cards on that sheet can be found that way or if the condition is recurring.
