A 1980 coin is probably not going to happen, although I've come close once or twice but that was years ago. I generally collect a type of anything sold in a Topps retail pack (including tests) and just add proofs/protoypes as I find them without worrying about the latter stuff being complete. Never say never though as I've found and won rarities over the years I never thought would pop up or fall into my lap. I think I have all but an 85 mini from the first list otherwise and I may even have one of those around here I waver on the Bush card as it seems like some shenanigans may have led to a handful being inserted in packs but do hope to nail one of those someday. I think I have the latter day Garagiola card but am still pulling stuff out of deep closet storage, I definitely have the one from the 70's. That last Black Gold entry, is that the insert redemption card? |

The 93 and 94 Black Gold cards had A,B,C,D,A/B, C/D and A/B/C/D checklists. You could redeem the checklist cards for the cards listed on them, but the checklist you got back had "Certified" on it. Most checklist cards you see on eBay are certified. Unredeemed non certified cards are harder to find and if you want a master set you need one of each. Plus some of the uncertified checklists are pricey

Do you have the 1988 Cloth Nelson Simmons? I would love to see a scan of the card. |

That was my mistake about the card on the Brooks Robinson thread. I was using a faulty checklist. It's been confirmed to me that that card doesn't exist. Sorry about that, Mike |

Thanks for the clarification. I guess that means my Orioles team set is complete with Jim Dwyer and Mike Hart. 1988 Topps Cloth Test Issue.jpg |

1991 Topps (C Sheet) Bold 40th Anniversary Logo cards.
I've only heard of Jose Canseco and one other card surfacing from the C sheet with the bold logo. |

I’ve found partial bolds on C* sheet cards but never a full, distinct Bold 40th card. Just higher saturation red in that area.

There is an image on Tanner Jones' Canseco website:
