Default Boardwalk & Baseball 1987

Has anyone else collected this set. It is a Topps co branded boxed set of 33 ( Topps logo is on back of the cards) and the set is check listed on the box. Fairly nice looking set and easy to put together, unless you try to include the variation of each card in the set. All the cards can be found with or without a slash line between the BBs in the logo on the front. The no slash versions are pretty scarce and more expensive than their common counterpart

The bulk of the no slash variations found online recently have come from newly cut complete error set sheets (4 sets per, I think).

There are two other variations:

Faint slash (all other black ink properly printed on card)

Askew slash (slash is not in center of B & B but through one of them)

Figures . I don't have any transition cards for my B&B sets but have a bunch as extras with my 82 Blackless set.

Do you have any examples of the B & B transition cards you can post

Not handy but I’ll try and post a pic if I can locate some of my old ones. I had 8-10 players with the faint (transparent/gray) line on front. I’m pretty sure Schmidt and Gary Carter were two I found with the line through the B on front instead of between them.

Because someone recently had uncut sheet(s) cut up. Four sets per sheet, if I recall.

I've had this variation for well over 20 years and when I saw that PSA was finally recognizing these with the No Slash notation, I thought I'd get my slabbed....

Agree with the recent prevalence because of the new intros to the marketplace. I remember paying somewhere around 60 due to rarity for my first Parrish. Now I am up to 4-5 just grabbing the ones that pop up cheap as the supply will likely dwindle again. I grabbed one for less than 10 on COMC not long ago.

Do we know for sure that the “no slash” version was issued in the box sets? I have had a Brett for a number of years and it was certainly cut from a sheet because it’s a two card panel. I don’t remember ever buying that box set back in 1987 so I don’t know much about the distribution of it. I had always just assumed that maybe the no slash versions were all cut from a sheet or potentially some kind of poster version that was issued and cut up. I have no foundation for that assumption other than, as all of you, seeing a lot of sheet cut cards available on eBay and owning one myself.

For what it’s worth, I have never seen a George Brett in the other two versions mentioned.

This is not about the cards themselves, but the amusement part of the same name, which is where the cards originated.

I joined the Navy in Nov 1987. I was sent to Orlando, FL for bootcamp. After I graduated sometime in late Jan/early Feb 1988, my parents came for the ceremony and a trip for themselves to do some sightseeing in the Florida area. They asked me what I wanted to do after being locked on the base for the last 8 weeks and I chose a trip to Boardwalk & Baseball. The park had just opened less than a year earlier (April 87).

I don't recall how I came to know about it, maybe my parents learned of it and told me about it, but I enjoyed the trip. I did buy the B&B card set directly from the park during my visit as well. I have a few souvenir photos from that day as well (I was wearing my dress blue uniform for some reason, because I think I recall I was not allowed to wear civilian clothes yet, even when out on my own with family).

I left Orlando and continued on with my life. Years later, I decided to look up the park and learn a little more about it. I was shocked to find that the park closed not long after I had made my visit (Jan 1990). There is something about that trip and my sentimentality that made me so glad that I chose that over Disneyland or something else. For what it was worth, I actually got to experience the park before it was gone forever. Now I wish I had taken more pictures!

I do recall someone posting images of a card with the slash in the wrong spot.
I want to say that not only was it not between the B's, but was higher on the card, inside the image area too. I could be wrong though.
