Al,
Thanks for the pics from the Fisk post above too. Similar to that Fisk, what do you know about the Ripken? I had never seen one like this until someone posted it on social media. I guess it would be blackless-ing since you can see a shadow of their names...

Blacklessing was a term invented by a long time seller of Blackless cards on eBay. He was the author of the description of the Fisk card in the 2nd link above. To me it is a term to describe transition cards where the black ink was running low or out. Fred, his name, would say if traces of the black or gray appears, it is not a "true" Blackless card, but a Blacklessing card. I guess it is up to each individual collector whether to make such distinctions in collecting such cards

Wow. Maybe blackless-ing cards are more sought after than I thought.

Anyone know which Catalog this list came from? This was included with the set when originally sold. And why would 342 George Foster ($275) and 780 Pete Rose ($375) be the most expensive by far as listed in this catalog? Odd to me...

I don't recognize that one, but there were a couple one offs or briefly produced that had imaginative pricing.
If it was close to 82, Pete Rose was a big deal, and a high price on a card considered rare wouldn't be unusual. The Foster originally had a "signature" it shouldn't have and was later corrected. That was also a bit of a big deal for a while. Not quite that big of a deal, but a fairly expensive card for 1982-3. Now? I don't even recall which one they said was harder to find.

Thanks for the info Steve. Any idea when hobby publications first wrote about the printing error? I heard that Baseball Card Magazine had an article about the no black ink variation in 82/83?
Were some of these other print defects common in the set? I have two Babcock's that have red dots/smearing on them. Curious if others are the same or different. The Corbett is the only one I have in the set that doesn’t complete the brown line on the border.
