12020 Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) Hello So I've haven't been collecting since I was a kid back in the 80's and everything is new to me. The cost quality and and ... Anyhow please advise on this Tom Glavine blackless card. Please note the1/3 of the card where the Topps logo is. The blackless streak is from top to bottom. Has anyone seen a Tom Glavine card that is considered blackless. What's the definition of a true blackless card? Does the black, thin line border have to be broken in certain areas? Any help would be much appreciated. I should mention this card comes from a vending case. Most but not all of the Glavine cards look like the photo below. There are also several other cards that appear to be what one could consider blackless, but I'm still trying to figure it out. Like Turn back the clock Fred Lynn, Jody Davis, Tom O'Malley, and some other's haven't done a dive into them. Thank in advance.

northkorea Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 What you have would be considered a printer's error. Typically, these decrease a card's value, not increase. The exceptions are extreme errors, such as the No Name Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
