Wasn't sure where to post my question, but this post seemed to be the appropriate place after searching the site

I have a 1961 Topps Willy Mays blank back

Attached is the Mays and Billy Gardner and Earl Torgensen that are also blank back

just trying to determine the Genesis of these cards

I have the same questions as others that posted: proof, scrap sheet, salesman copy, error etc

Also interested in approx value

They do not appear to be cut manually and are standard size

Any guidance would be appreciated

Thanks

The biggest thing is to determine what it is for sure. As far as value, you need to find a person that collects print errors. Most star players can be sold for at least 2X the price of a regular card and if you can find a player collector that also collects errors you can get much more. It does not apply to your cards but there is a big price difference between hand cut and factory cut error cards. Hand cut are way easier to sell now, used to be even on rare cards most collectors would pass on a hand cut card.

Thanks Mark, The Maris was a nice card. I traded it a couple years ago for a handful of 54 Topps for my set.
