100% absolutely fake. As others have said, the erasing of the black ink on these cards and the 1990 cards was fairly common back then during the height of the error craze. These cards are almost always just missing the names on front. I mistakenly purchased a 1990 Dale Murphy recently. Found a 1989 Tony Gwynn in a giant lot too, both altered by eraser.

Gary Carter and Gary Sheffield are the only two missing black ink (on back, 1990 issue) Upper Deck cards that I can confirm as legit, non-erased/tampered. A solo copy of a 1991 Don Mattingly missing his stats on back has floated around online and the owner confirms that is is not rubbed off and gloss is intact.
