1982 Topps Blackless

[bswhiten]

Thanks Al!
So do you know if they were only in wax or rack at retail? or both? I would guess that a lot of people had them/probably still do and don't know they have them...

I bought all of mine on the secondary market, but Stevelee, who collects and sells them regularly ( on eBay), believes they were mostly found in cellos, and maybe some from vending. He is unaware of them coming from wax or rack packs

I am 100% sure I pulled a blackless fisk all star from a wax pack bought at mr. Food in Wyomissing PA in 1982 when I was 10 years old. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was the only one I have ever owned. I sold it to a Fisk collector when I was a full time dealer around 1997 or so.

Wow. That's pretty cool that you remember opening the pack and seeing it as a kid. I'm quite sure I would have not realized what I had pulled if that was my ten year old self

Just a suggestion, I bought a George Brett PSA 9 that was graded very early by PSA and was not labeled "blackless". Sent it in and had it relabeled.
You might keep an eye out on major players.

Yea PSA has screwed it up the other way too unfortunately... Look at this pop 1 Brett. I was offered from a seller and almost bought it from looking at a pic on my cell phone. But it is clearly not Blackless.

This is the true "highest graded" example of that Brett...

Yep, I'm no expert on colors, but that looks like black to me.

That's funny. I think the only All Star with a sig. was the George Foster which was obviously an UER. I think it was uncorrected. It seems so obvious but hey that's graded cards for ya.

Like Glynparson, I remember pulling a blank backs. I pulled a pair (Mookie Wilson and Hubie Brooks) in Rowland Heights, CA. I still have them. I am on the look out for a number of commons.
