1982 Blackless Checklist 1-132 ?? FOR REAL??

samspop

I need the experts help on this one. After reading a post on the 1982 Topps Blackless, I thumbed through a few boxes that I had put away and came across this card. All of the other Checklists I have seen have the black border around the orange player list. This one does not. Is this considered blackless?





The scan does not show well, but the border is a pinkish color.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks, Mike

My understanding is that the blackless cards have no black ink. The player cards are missing the black along the design AND their signature...which was also black. I imagine it's possible Topps used a separate plates for black on the checklist, but unlikely. That would mean more work for no reason.

The only reason I even took a look at this is because another checklist with this card had a very defined black border around the orange player field. I tried to do a look up on eBay for current and ended auctions for a checklist, but no luck.

The 396 Blackless variations occurred on sheets A,B and C. If you check the back of card 129, it is a D sheet card and this is it's normal appearance
