Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>Printing mistake. Though not common, you will find a number of blank front and blank back 1980s-90s cards. I pulled a blank front card and a blank back card of of Topps packs as a kid.

Posted By: <b>Jerry</b><p>Paste a 38 Goudey front on it and then you got something.<br /><br />J/K. David is correct, Blank front cards are fairly common on Topps cards from late 80's early 90's.

Posted By: <b>Jason L</b><p>back in 1987, I pulled from a pack a very rare blank front and blank back 1953 Bowman Color Jose Canseco with a faint wet transfer of an off-center, upside-down T206 Cobb Red Background.<br />Really quite odd.<br /><br />But I had a dupe, so I threw it in the garbage.

Posted By: <b>Clint</b><p>Back in 1980 I pulled a Topps Nolan Ryan card that had a fingerprint inked on the front. I still have it somewhere and I believe it was the first DNA card made.<br /><br />Clint

It seems there is a reality based show about Topps:<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CWlL9R6Q_OU&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CWlL9R6Q_OU&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
