Beware... This is the same Alan Hager outfit (also ASA) that slabbed the blankback overstock and scrap 1985-86 and 1986-87 OPC as Proof cards. I would have very little confidence in these cards being what they are advertised to be.
I just sent questions to the seller regarding these being listed as proofs. Asked him if Topps authorized them or is there Authentication from Topps that these are proofs. We shall see what he says.
A few years ago, I bought a "lot" of Roy Hartsfield 1977 OPC baseball progressive proofs. I think there were 7 of each 'color,' and they were slabbed by someone. I know they're not worth anything (heck, they may even be fake) but I only paid 10 bucks for the lot and the Hartsfield card isn't included in the Topps set (as a lone card), so I wanted them for my personal OPC collection. I don't think I would buy anything like that if I ever intended on it having any future value. (scans upon PM request).

These cards were graded and slabbed by a company called Accugrade. Both cards are blank backs. I have had cards like this before from this company that were authenticated by beckett and graded and labeled as blank backs. Unless they are sent to the topps vault, I cannot myself know 100% for sure. I have taken many of the star company cards that I have to grading companies and none of those companies is comfortable in authenticating them. But, as I said previously I have taken many topps blank backs I have or had to beckett grading services, and they have graded them and labeled them as blank backs. All the ones I stiil have came from the same collection I bought several years ago. I have had cards and still have cards like this and have never had any problems before. If I took these cards to BGS, I am certain just like the rest,they would grade them, label them as blank backs and slab them up. I have purchased cards from the topps vault before, and all the cards I bought from them were already slabbed by BGS. I am confident if you submitted these cards to beckett, that they would grade them, label them as blank backs and slab them up. The only way they will be labeled as proofs or one of ones by beckett is if they came directly from the topps vault. I have 100% feedback as well as a power seller rating, and I would not risk that if I was not relatively sure. I hope this helps. Thanks very much for your interest, Larry.

Its a shame the lot was split, only having 2 of the 7, the progressive lots are usually around 9 or 10 cards..
There is / was a seller who had / has a boat load of 1979-80 topps 2 card lots as well.
goye
I thought the proofs were one specific color.
