That’s one of the 1981 Topps double print missing border cards, there are about 25 that I know of. Some are completely missing the top border line and others have varying degrees of partially missing top border lines. Why it only affected cards in the double print horizontal rows I have no clue. There are also quite a few 1979 Topps double print cards with the same flaw, no clue why it only affects the double printed rows. I will post some scans when I get a chance.

I think I have 20 of them, or thereabouts. Several as a result of Cliff's generosity

I happened across my stack of 1981 Topps double print missing top border cards yesterday, half of my stuff I have no clue where it is. Some of the cards are completely missing the top border line, others are in varying degrees of partially missing the top black border line.

[Cliff Bowman]

The rest of them.

I picked up a large lot of 1996 Pinnacle Summit Above and Beyond inserts. Two of them are missing the gold embossed name plate and team logo. Anyone seen one of these before?

No, but those are some of my favorite kinds of errors.

Is the embossing present but just missing the foil?

[Exhibitman]

Nope. No embossing at all. Looks like that entire process was missed. I have Boggs and a common both from the same lot with the same error.
