I am bulding a set. Some of my cards have a dark back. Does collectors out there know why?

As for the discoloration, PSA doesn't seem to deduct much for it, because I have 70 PSA 9's with and
without the back discoloration.

By the way, you are probably correct about PSA not taking points away when grading for the dark backs because the cards I bought came with a PSA 6 graded Rose and the back was also dark. I don't like it as much because it looks dirty.

Does anyone know if there exists 1970 Topps Baseball uncut sheets?

It's amazing what one learns from looking a pictures. LOL
they are not supposed to, i am not saying that they never have. At least they try not to.
Like you said it could be difficult to see.
Most sheet cutters take their cards to BGS since they openly allow it. SGC and GAI follow PSA's belief.
PSA checks the actual edge of the card to see if it has been laser cut or cut using some newer technology.
Topps cutted those sheets 35 years ago, its very hard to replicate that original cut.
collectors seem divided when it comes to sheet cut cards.
I find it wrong.

calleocho,
Have you ever seen a 1970 Topps Baseball uncut sheet for sale anywhere?
Is putting the cards I purchased vs. my own flush to each other a good test to see if they "match" sizes?
Sorry for so many questions but I am relatively new to vintage collecting other than having some of my 1970 Topps lying around for years.
I never liked this set, so gray.
sheets for sale
thats a great website for uncut sheets, very expensive but hey you dont see these stuff everyday.

Do uncut sheets have the same thickness as the cards pulled from a pack?
Remember my concerns about the Bristol being possibly cut from a sheet and those ones with the darker backs? Well I didn't send the Bristol in to PSA but I did send 7 HOF player cards into PSA including Munson's Rookie card. The Munson graded a PSA 6, a few PSA 5, and the Catfish Hunter got a PSA 7...non trimmed and all came back graded and the darker backs didn't seem to effect the grade. This is exactly what I was hoping for.
I still think the Bristol was grossly miscut. Who would bother trimming it?
Late 60's and early to mid 70's non-sports
The Bristol is very likely just a "miscut" card. It appears to be just fine--albeit the sheet slipped a touch under pressure. I have a pristine '61 Aaron with the same "bowing" as a matter of facxt and have seen many, many cards with that same miscut. I sent my PSA through PSA a couple of years ago and they said they couldn't holder it, but the cut was legitimate. I got a complimentary grade and a "It's a shame...such a nice card."
I also LOVE 1970 topps cards. When they're clean and focused and well-struck...BOO-YAH!
Best of luck with the set,

Guess he was too busy "pounding the Budweiser"
A lot of very red faced Bristols in 1967
1967and 1973 Topps baseball wantlists (any condition) welcome. Once had the #14 ATF 1967 set. Yet another collector like skylaneflyer, gimel1 who made it to the completion of 1967 only to need the money more than the company of 609 close friends.

Thanks, downgoesfrazier. 300+ cards are actually from my childhood. I bought some others.
Current obsession, all things Topps 1969 - 1972
NEAT. Were those panels cut from a full sheet?
Current obsession, all things Topps 1969 - 1972
I either own or have seen uncut panels and partial sheets from every Topps and Bowman regular set, and many of the oddball sets. They certainly exist, and Robert Edward Auctions has a lot of them up right now.
