I actually do collect wrong back sets now. I am working on a 53 Topps and about 15% of the way in.

Thank you everyone for the kind words. I really appreciate them and have made a huge effort over the past few months (years) to improve my attitude and let my business do the talking.

We never really own any of these great collectibles, we're simply the keepers and care givers until the time comes to let another care for the pieces. Some people care for the pieces for 50 years, some people care for the pieces for 50 minutes.

Kind Regards,

Sean Bassik

I've only met Sean once, but I have sold him several lots of cards in the last year. Frankly he has used more words in this post than in all of our transactions combined. Usually its "price?" "scan?" or "I'll take it." In spite of his brevity I trust him. He is a man of his word. I look forward to doing more business with him in the future.

Best regards,

Joe

I think I speak for all of us when I say we are long overdue for a Sean Bassik appreciation night. Of course, I would prefer to devote an entire week to honoring Sean but obviously many of us have family and work commitments that would make this impossible. Perhaps you guys can throw out a few dates and we can come to a consensus as to what works best for everybody. Also, we should pick a location that is both interesting and convenient. I hesitate to bring this up but let us kindly refrain from location suggestions such as Blue Ball, Pennsylvania, Boogertown, North Carolina or Spread Eagle, Wisconsin. This is not some platform to try out your lame comedy routine. This is about Sean.

Sean,

Just curous on a wrong back set, how do you base what you need? Do you try for the numbers in order on the back of the card or do you sort them by the number they "should" have on the back? I've always wondered about that.

Thanks and take care,

Mike

As someone that collects wrong backs I try to collect all the different versions. With wrong backs there can be several different backs all with the same player on the front.

Sean this is not a 67 Dexter Press it is a 83 Starliner sticker. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1967-Dexter-...p2047675.l2557

I reached out to the buyer and offered him $10 store credit.

I am in the same boat as Ben, I have 2x of the same front with different wrong backs. The nicest one is a 1953 Whitey Ford in NM with wrong back. I am hoping one day these errors will be realized for what they are - unique, "low numbered" copies of the cards from the 50's-70's.

I knew you would get bit the collector in you came out

now, you have the "scrap" eye as I can see......maybe the scraps will take hold of you

Seems to me collecting a set of 1953 Topps wrongbacks would be an impossible task.

As a 13 yr old in 1953 I bought hundreds of packs, I have collected '53's for many years and right now have 2 complete sets and many singles, and I have NEVER owned or ran across a '53 Topps wrongback!

I can't believe collecting a full set is even REMOTELY POSSIBLE!

It's fun to collect a set that's impossible.
