Slightly OT - 1982 Topps Blackless

doug.goodman · #14 11-12-2010, 02:27 AM

While I do like to think that I have accumulated a bit of knowledge of Topps baseball issues and their vriations. I would bet that he is among the many people who leave me in the dust when it comes to level of expertise.

I am also a fan of the SCD catalog. The Gilkeson book has variations that aren't listed in the catalog. I agree with most of Gilkeson's variations (that I have seen) but I consider a few of them to be printing errors not true variations.

I agree with Al that the 4 "variations" in the blackless set are not variations, but are glorified print dots.

I'm happy to be involved in a hobby where people can collect what they choose to collect, and because of that I choose to consider the blackless set complete at 396 cards.

Simiilarly, I do not consider the Herrera 1958 "variation" to be a variation, although if I find one cheap, I will buy it :-)

Have fun, I suppose that's the best rule to follow.

Doug
