For those of you who have opened packs of 1980 Topps, is this "Hit to Win" variation particularly scarce?

  • Geez, let me set the way back machine Mr. Whoppee.
    If I recall correctly, the HTW is a late in the year variation that promoted the contest card inside.
    Scarce ?? Maybe compared to the 15 card version, but readily available for a modest (and I mean very modest) premium. Maybe a buck or two at most.
    Don't sweat it. I would have guessed maybe 10% of the run that year is that variety. Based on how many they made ........ that is a lot of packs.

    I believe that a 9 or higher pack must come out of a full box, so 8.5 would be perfect for pack condition.
