in Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum
Happy Football Sunday to all and back with a new "Error Card of the Week" thread. As requested, this week we will look at the 1980 Topps "Yellow" Names variations.

Their are 5 in total even thought the SCD Catalog only recognizes 3 of them.

I have listed all 5 below from my collection. There is also a mysterious Greg Pryor "No Name" error that I have not seen but others have assured me it does exisit. You can see the players name in the front of the card in yellow. Some people even look at the outline of the players name seeing if their is tint of yellow their as well.

Take a look and enjoy !!!

    thats the best Wathan I have, maybe someone else has one that is more yellowish.

    Also, I would love to hear more info on the Greg Pryor "no name" card.

    Rich is it possible that missing red ink and printed in yellow ink are 2 different variations?


    Maybe AUPT can chime in.

    Good for you.

    From what I know on the subject, some have more or less of the yellow than others....

    pretty much the ratio of yellow to red varies on every one of these cards that isn't "normal" (all red).

    richtree...I have 4 of the 5 1980 Yellows...need the Washington. Was unaware of it. I do have the Pryor. I do not scan but can mail you a color copy if you want to see it. Can also send you color copies of the Topps cards you have on your want list ( with the exception of the 06 RC 1) if they would be of any interest to you

    Thanks for sharing - these are interesting

    But don't you think these are just varying degrees of a printing defect, as opposed to variations?

    I'm interested to hear your thoughts, since you collect these types of issues
  • richtreerichtree Posts: 1,501 ✭✭✭
    Hammered,

    Yes, I agree with you these are varrying degrees on the printing, but in essance many variations are simply variable printings, but the color is so noticable that it is very easy to see.

    I think that is why the more yellow the better, but yet no yellow still ='s the correction/standard issue.

    The 1980 topps set seemed to have more of these then most modern sets.

    Rich---I also have a Yellow Steve Braun, and will send color copy of it with the Pryor no name. Plus a few other unlisted 80 variations I have, including the Yankee team proof with Martin rather than Howser as manager. Also a picture of my 1980 Topps Test Coin set ( 3---Garvey/Jackson/Carew).

    Would pay cash premium for the Washington Yellow

    Well, I was pretty unhappy with the grades on my recent submission, but my Poquette Yellow Name did get holdered. I was hoping for an 8, but I guess the centering held it at a 7. Here's a scan.

    image

    Now the question is to sell or not. There are currently 3 of these graded with two 5s and my 7. Anyone have an idea what it may go for on ebay?

    They are not found "without the position" on front, which would be extremely misleading if printed in a price guide, they are found with large blotches of excess ink over the position lettering/flag. Or in other words, no set of plates were produced without acknowledging the position on front for either of those two players (or any others for that matter).

    With nearly all Topps sets through 1991 (and other companies as well), an occasional occurrence of ink "running" beyond it's intended boundries can be found. Sometimes it makes a neat aesthetic (like Art Howe's "witch hat"), but usually not. These, while major mechanical errors, are the definition of printing flaws.
