Default 85 Topps Mini's

Joe,

I would really like to see some high res scans on the front before going that route. Do you know what other OPC card stock from this era looks like? Does anyone have any other scans of the backs of cards in another OPC set so we can check card stock? Just curious.

Thanks.

Default '85 topps comparisons

I'm with Rich on this one, I don't think they're counterfeited. Nobody has ever had enough of them, and they aren't worth enough to take the time to do. I took a look at them side by side under my magnifier and could see no areas of concern. The rosette pattern is the same and there is solid color everywhere there should be. Another question then would be, were they possibly photocopied? Again my answer would be no. I have two team sets of the white back proofs and each one has the registration off, most noticeably the red plate which is up and to the left. This was not found on the tan backs or the stat backs. By no means am I a professional but it is my humble opinion that the white backs are legit. I, however, will let you draw your own conclusion. I'm providing scans of all variations side by side and a high res of a Pedro Guerrero white blank back per your request. Have fun!

By the way, since I do have an expendable copy of each Dodgers white back I would be willing to trade straight up for a red ink only back of any Dodger since I don't have those variations. I also need a tan back Yeager. Thanks!

Do not have current access to my Minis ( In Iceland), but I have blank backs of both types displayed by Joe, and in my view they are not fakes. And if there are equal number of red only back sheets, someone is hording them currently

Well I have yet to acquire an 85 mini....and I am sure you would be able to tell Al. It is somewhat disappointing to know you don't carry your database of baseball images and other related information with you in your worldly travels. .
