Default Flip stock?
Hi I never thought flip stock was a real thing until I saw these 1973's...(pictured)...tons of back gloss (top 5)..same angle as bottom row...

I collect 1969 and 1970 (probably had 30k or so between buying and selling) with 0 flip stock and was wondering if anyone has any flip stock 1969 or 1970 photos/info to share. I have not had or seen any.

Best,
Ejs.

Printed in USA so more than likely Topps? I don't see French anywhere but my eyes aren't liked they use to be either.

He's talking about the cards on the top row. The top five are clearly OPC with French text.

Flip stock is the term Topps invented recently as a parallel set to Topps Heritage, where they print the back of the card on the nice "white stock" and the front of the card on "gray stock" making it look like the sheets were fed into the printing presses upside down.
They super limited to like 5 of each card in most Heritage sets that have them.

See if you can tell the difference just due to the images.

Edit: I believe there have been random vintage Topps cards found over the years that might have accidentally been printed this way, which inspired the parallel set.
