1982 Topps Blackless

[ALR-bishop]

I have been contacted on occasion asking if I would sell certain cards from my set, Brett more than once.

It was my experience B and C cards were harder to find in building my set.

I only need 1 of the Bretts, #201 IA. IA from others Hofers #101 mike schmidt and #481 carlton. Hofers regular cards #475 Trammel, #610 Henderson, both Stargells and Gossage IA. Dale Murphy is not a Hofer, but the card is very tough. Blackless Cards looks lot better than regular set

I was lucky to finish the set while it was still pretty obscure. Those, the 84 Topps Encased, 85 Topps Minis, 88 Topps Cloth 89 Topps Big Head Suckers and Topps 89 Mets/Yankee proof DHs were the toughest 80s sets for me.

It would be interesting for someone to try to complete the 82 set in gray transition cards....but not me

Beautiful Brett Christian! I will keep an eye out for the Brett IA.

Don’t lie Al, I’m sure you already have the Blacklessing set
I do like the Trammell run that jimtb posted in this thread...would be cool to have that of the stars imo.
I have gotten interested in the Blueless, but not so interested that I feel the need to go after the entire checklist.

Wondering if anyone knows of this as being a true variation (2nd p in "Topps" filled in) or perhaps if its just a false image caused by the software processing the scanned image? Saw this on a current Ebay auction.
Apologies on the "Non Blackless" variation question here in this great thread but imagine this represents the meeting of the greatest worldwide experts on 1982 Topps baseball.

Have seen other cards where such a letter has a filled in area, one was on a Koufax card. But had not seen such a defect on this card before

Is it a one time print defect, a recurring print defect, an early defect that was discovered and corrected ? My guess is a one time or very scarce recurring print defect

I am not a graded collector but wonder if such a print defect on a card should affect the grading. I guess not given the 10.

I think every time one of those showed up it turned out to be the scanner setting automatically filled in the small gap in the scan and wasn’t actually on the card.
