A very expensive variation (Not a star)

Another one? All I can say is - that is one ugly card for $787.00!

Maybe I should leave a few dozen of my Fred Stanley cards out in the sun - bingo, name in yellow!

and it is way O/C

I remm the raw one when it sold, I think it was Olbermann who bought it. I have about 5000 1980 Topps I should take a peak.

There was article about this card in SCD not too long ago. It's supposed to be incedibly rare - up there with the 77 Reggie Jackson on the Orioles kind of rare.

bishop

The Jackson came up on e-bay not long back. I bid around $ 3500. It went for over $6,000. When a PSA 9 Stanley Yellow went up on e-bay recently, I bid $990 something and the same bidder got it for just over $1000 ( merkle923) . It was the same seller who sold this 8. He says he found 4 in a unopened box he bought on e-bay some years back. In the same box he says he found one Yellow Wathan card. I know the Wathan does exist in yellow because I have one. I have been told, but can not confirm that there is also a Yellow Poquette and Braun. I do know someone who says he has both and plans to put them up on e-bay "soon"

Lemke has had the Stanley in the SCD Catalog for some time. He may now have the Wathan as well ( listed in the $6 range). In an article several months back he asked for confirmation that the card existed due to ongoing inquiries from people looking for it. If there are more out there, they should start showing up soon. I am just glad to be done looking for mine. I had been looking since 1983.

Bishop, Welcome to the boards and thanks for the info. What do you collect?

bishop

Topps baseball 1948 to 1994, and Fleer baseball 1927, and 1959 to 1980. ...which has caused a few expensive collisions with BobsCards in the past.

i believe merkle923 is keith olbermann.

WHO>?

There are a couple variation cards in 80 besides the ones mentioned.The Stanley is the most commonly known.The 331 RICH HEBNER is another,but I am not aware of what the variation is.Plus there are a few others with multiple pop report listings and no explaination including 3 separate for the 387.

Another is the Astros card with and without Virdon's name on it.Sadly I had an 8 without it and didn't know it was a variation card.

Bishop,
Welcome to the boards (it's about time). By the way it's "bobsbbcards", not "BobsCards" (who the he|| is that?)
Bob

P.S. I bought the '82 Blackless partial set from Andy by the way.

Considering I own one...not very.

The SCD Catalog lists the yellow Wathan and Stanley. I have been told there may be other yellows, including Poquette, Braun and McEnaney ( the latter from the seller of the Stanley). I have been told there is a variation of card 343, Vail, with a break in the upper left border. I would sure like to know more about the Hebner and Virdon variations; which I had not heard about.

Sorry, bobsbbcards. Congratulations on the partial Blackless set. Finding the rest of the C sheet cards may prove to be a chore. How many are you short ?

RobE

The Hebner I'm not sure about.The Stros team either has Virdon's name or it doesn't.That's the only difference I know of.

The Stanley has 3 pop listings: 1) Name in Red 2) Name in yellow 3) just Fred Stanley.I'm curious of the 3rd one because All I've ever seen were cards with red letters.

Short 60. Not sure which ones yet, but he's sending me a spreadsheet.

RobE - the third listed version is from the time before PSA distinguished the variations.

Nick,in 2003 at the Chicago Sun times show I asked Peter Ma about it thinking there were a bunch of errors I discovered in the Pop report.Inside a week, or two he corrected the suggested errors.Then a few months later everything corrected was returned back to the way it was.I emailed asking questions but nobody ever responded, so I don't know if what you think is 100% accurate, but maybe it is.I don't know.

Who is Fred Stanley?

Bobsbcards,
Any chance of an extra blackless Trammell? I've been looking for a long time for one!

Sorry. I am still getting the hang of this. Bob and I both know where that entire list of cards can be found. All it will take is a wad of money....

rbeaton

bobsbbcards,

Got an extra blackless Palmer or Palmer IA?

Robert

<< <i>Got an extra blackless Palmer or Palmer IA? >>


Robert,

Nope. The only extra Blackless I have is Carlton Fisk. Bishop, do you have extras of Palmer?

Bob

P.S. HEY! I TURNED INTO A "VETERAN"!!!

jimtb

Thanks for checking, Bob. I've only seen one Blackless Trammell and that was in the early 90's. Do you think that there could still be more blackless cards in packs out there somewhere?
Jim

Hey, I just became a veteran as well!

bishop

I do not have an extra Palmer, but will check with Andy, he might. It is hard to believe an 80s set is this tough. This and the 88 Cloth have been frustrating.
