I thought I had replied to this somewhere, but I think that’s cut from the TOP of the box, not the bottom. When you say “sealed deck,” do you mean some sort of blister pack that would hang? If so, those aren’t issued by Topps. Those are after market repacks.

Looks like the top of my 90's Topps rack boxes

PICS or it didn't happen !

I'd be happier than a pig in...um ah mosh pit if this was mine.  Congratulations man!

Agree with TwoYewts.

I like the rarity of insufficient ink, misaligned foil, no foil, etc (they're all errors). Print dots are not my thing though. Holding a stack of error cards in most of the sports and itching to get some graded but if I can not get the labels I want for my cash, they will go in the holders that bring me the most value for my money. 

CSG has already labeled embossing errors, Randy Johnson and others as far as I know.  What's the big deal...

I have not checked most of the backs  of my opened packs but have found several double prints (A*) and recurring print dots.

There are several different teams errors like these in packs.

Bottom left corner card from the Thomas sheets. These are printing defects and not damaged.

Some runs of the All Star cards have lighter black backgrounds.

Similar to the  "Blackless" and "partial-blackless" errors (insufficient ink). All of the cards were pulled from packs in the condition as shown. Some are missing just a little yellow but the cards can also be lighter all over, lighter just inside the framed area or whatever.

The wax pack card is an error also. Hat brim, clipped ear, red shadow, almost looks like sunglasses...

Insufficient yellow ink area on number of production sheets? that were packed out

Good luck man and awesome set.

Perhaps it got locked for your response to my comments about how printing defects are typically viewed as just that: a defect…

After I wrote this, you made some comment about my not being a CSG employee (which I never claim to be, as you can see below).

Maybe, I think it was because they did not want your impending response. Yes, printing defects are defects. Thomas, Mantle and Ruth are just a few names of thousands of cards that have defects. Some people like errors (defects) and of course some do not.

I'm sorry you did not comprehend what I had written. I was inquiring (asking) if you were an employee.

Here is what I had written.

This thread is "Ask CSG". Are you an employee of CSG and do you make the cataloging decisions?

Thank you for commenting on my posts again!

I was not part of any focus group. I have offered my opinion on several things over the years but no one has ever asked. I do like being #1 in the registry but I really don't think that my opinion more valuable than any other collectors. We all like CSG or we wouldn't be here. I'd like them a lot more if the price per card dropped back under $10  But, to toot my own horn a little, I've been collecting for around 45 years and I have accumulated quite a bit of knowledge about cards and the hobby in general. More specifically. I like errors and variations and I have had some trouble getting CSG to recognize some pretty rare variations and notating them on the slab and in the registry.

I have encountered the same issue. I collect more vintage than modern and variations (and obscure issues) that I would have no problem getting notated/graded with PSA or SGC are not considered by CSG/CGC which has been disappointing. 

I like errors and defects too if there were a few runs that got packed out. Foil, ink, blackless and so on. Liking the yellowless errors because they are even rarer than the blackless. Smoltz and Sanders (my favorite) yellowless errors are very rare.

From my "Ask CSG", yellowless thread that got locked for whatever reason...

I was able to confirm "This is not an error we catalog at this time. We would consider cataloging it with more information. For example, the missing black ink 1990 Topps was a result of a known issue happening during the run caused by a foreign object." Thank you!

This is not a bash, I am considering giving CGC a try.

Asking for more info? Card grading companies and their graders should already have the knowledge to grade cards. If I took a diamond for grading and they asked for more information it would be SMH.

If we are talking about a "foreign object" and the blackless, I believe that was the result of cleaning solution that was not removed/dried before the next run. Not cardboard stock, paper or tape... Liquid.

With the change to CGC maybe my 1990 Topps Baseball yellowless cards can get error labels now since they did it with Pokemon.

Insufficient Ink
"the graders did recognize the clear insufficient ink error on this Evolutions Zapdos holo card."     *Insufficient yellow ink*

Come on CGC! You did labels for the Fleer Randy Johnson, "Skinned Back" altered Mantle, Robinson with Partial Mantle and some embossed errors that are everywhere.

Yep, printer error just like the other blackless

Should we consider new options in the future

I hope you don't start using card borders/inserts. Cards get damaged when the card is not placed in exactly parallel to the border. Any tilt and the edge/s will lift and or chip the back edge of the card.

Buyer/submitter beware of the back edges on bordered cards.

9.5 and 4 x 9.5 is 2nd place.

Good advice from northkorea ! Want a 2nd opinion? on them... high res scan.
