Any more input on the best of the 1980 Topps set?

WOW! Where have I been? I never knew about that Yankees team variation.

It's an unissued blank backed proof card that was hand cut off of a full sheet, probably only a few in existence.

Cliff is right. It is one of only a few Topps proofs with it's own listing in SCD. The 67 Maris as a Yankee and the 77 R Jackson as an Oriole and a few other 77s from that sheet with players on different teams than the regular issue are the ones that come to mind. I would have put the 60 Cimoli/Hadley and Throneberry in that group, but I think Bob Lemke indicated that they are not blank backed, which may make them variations

Thanks for the info guys. Is there a '77 Rollie Fingers that fits that description? I remember seeing an ultra rare variation at the National once.
