Hi guys, I have no idea if any of you are still actively monitoring your posts here, but it seems like there is some amazing expertise on this thread around the 1980 Topps missing or rainbow ink cards. I’m hoping someone can help. I recently picked up a 5000 count box of 1980s Topps commons to swap into my hand-collated set. As I was going through I noticed that one of the KC Royals team cards was missing the 'mgr JIM FREY' name across the top of the card. I have five or six of the standard cards in the box itself, but this was the only one missing the ink. I have not seen any others, nor have I seen any other forums discussing this particular card as having a missing ink variation.

I also learned that Frey is not even on the card. It's a 1979 team photo so Whitey Herzog is the manager shown in the card. I don't know if that means anything, but is it possible Topps realized this also and removed the 'mgr JIM FREY' from the card intentionally? Would think if this was indeed the case more of them would be known to the public. Hoping someone can give me an idea of what I've got, scarcity, and maybe value?

I’m considering sending it to PSA to put under their microscopes as well to se if it was manually removed post-production by whomever had it before me. I would upload an image but I have no idea how to do it from this site. The image is saved as a jpeg on my desktop but the site is asking for a URL?
