Gotta be counterfeit?

Topps didn't pull an upper deck - did they?

    Great question as I've never seen that either. Be interested to hear everyone's thoughts on it.

    They look to be proofs or pre-production prints of some kind. At least you don't have to worry about them being cut up.

    some may have been already. i recall seeing a single example of this card with the same incomplete back being sold on eBay within the past several weeks.

    Not surprised, but it still sucks.

    I should have elaborated and said cut up for TPG. Unfortunate that anyone would buy a card like that raw.

    I'm not familiar with this issue. I know there are blackless 82 Topps cards, are there any legitimate 82s that have this kind of back? I also have a few 82 Topps "blank backs," but those have no color or anything on back.

    You can say that again.

    the worst thing was that Topps Vault was actually selling one of these bogus sheets on eBay a few years back

    Good stuff.

    Makes you wonder about Topps Vault -- either their stuff is not from "the vault" or perhaps these did go out the back door a la upper deck... either way, not good. The notion that somebody had to tell Topps that they were not Topps boggles the mind, or makes one very dubious.
