1979 Topps "Faceless" error
So the question is does this seller really believe this was how this card came from the factory and not realize that someone did this in the after market, or is this person just hoping the buyer believes this?

I bet this was a swarm of the bugs that got the 59 Brandt card in the Variations thread

That card is actually kind of neat. A full set of these might be perfect for Ben....

Ben would know that this was erased by someone after the fact. There is no way to print like this on accident.

Not in '79 anyway. I suppose today there could be some sort of mix-up involving face recognition software.

Hey, I knew Don Hood. That isn't faceless. That is what he actually looked like.

Its kind of an intriguing card, but in reality it's impossible to print a card like that in 1979 (as an error during actual print production)..The guy selling that card was never a printer that's for sure..or understands the process to 4 colour lithographic printing...But a 1 off card like that is next to impossible to do...Even if the pressmen were drunk at the time..You never know there may actually be someone out there who believes its the "real deal"...

If my face was missing I might Don a Hood as well.

I wonder how much I can get for my copy....the corners are much sharper on my copy.
Edited to add: note to self: must remember to crop out the eraser from the picture of my wanna be variation card, or just scan next time. Last edited by savedfrommyspokes; 08-04-2017 at 01:03 PM. |

Seller got back to me on the original card and said it is semi gloss like the rest of the card. Still says it was factory done. TO me semi gloss means it is paint. The eraser leaves a dull finish unless reglossed. |
