I just acquired a huge collection recently and something got my attention yesterday. There is an 800 count box full of 1983 Topps and every one of them have the wrong back. I have so much material to go through but I was wondering if there was much of a market for these.

I think this post most likely tanked the market for 83 wrong backs 😊. But it would be neat if you could build a full set of fronts with wrong backs
Not hard to find wrong backs on ebay, but other than those involving star cards have not seen great interest. However I don’t specifically collect them and maybe anyone who does will have a different perspective |

Player collectors like them. I only know one guy who collects them in set form. If you have a Wade Boggs I would be interested.

It's like anything else, you could risk blowing them out on ebay, or wait for the one guy out there that actually cares!

Boggs and Gwynn should get some attention.

Wrong backs seem pretty common, at least for early '80s Topps. It is the wrong front cards that command such a premium.

It figures I would have been thinking about this the wrong way all along

As a player collector I LOVE wrong backs, but will generally not pay more than 2-3 times what the card goes for correct.
I'm sure the HOF'ers in the lot would easily sell for $5-20 eventually. Gwynn, Boggs, and Sandberg $20 or more I'd think. But it might take a while before someone bites. The commons, probably not much of a market. |

I would say they're worth sending the commons and semi-stars to COMC (yes, I realize they're backlogged) and pricing the commons at like $2.50 each and the semi-stars higher. The three HOF RCs in the set would probably be $50 cards, IMO, if they have the right front. Maybe $25 if it's the back of the card and some other front.

I found several stars on the front like Mike Schmidt, Ozzie Smith, Reggie Jackson, and George Brett. I also found some with Wade Boggs on the back.

Here is an example of a pair and by far the favorite cards in my collection. A pair consists of having both the card with the player on the front and having the card with the player on the back with the same 2 players on both cards. I you can get lucky and both player are stars that will get a really nice premium. Last edited by bnorth; 04-07-2021 at 09:37 AM. |
