Thanks, Randy, for popsting photos of the two Topps Peppsi card. I was surprised when I saw them because they are different from my copies. Here's a photo of mine. Craig

Hi Craig, I need to clarify exactly what my cards are. I dug up the COAs which I haven't looked at in years.

First of all, the Simmons and Templeton cards are blank backs on the front, and blank fronts on the back. They are 4 separate cards housed in Topps Vault plastic with the Topps Vault sticker on top. The Hernandez card is a single proof blank back card from the Topps Vault.

The COAs state the following:

Simmons: 1980 Topps/Pepsi Acetate Overlay Proof card
Templeton: 1980 Topps/Pepsi Proof Card (even though identical to the Simmons format)
Hernandez: 1980 Topps Pepsi Cola Unpublished Proof card.

I didn't know these existed any other way.

Regards, Randy
