I have never seen a pack like this. Any value above a 1985 topps pack?

    Are these the packs with the albino hamster variations?

    Weird/cool if it's legit.

    There are a few wrapper variations for 1985 Topps baseball including the white wrappered packs. There is a slight premium for them.

    I wonder what happened with Topps wrapper ink that year. IIRC, there is a similar grayish version of wrapper variation for football for the same year.

    Pack looks like some sun faded packs I've seen in a local ice cream stands window.

    There are several wrapper variations for 1985 Topps baseball~the white wrapper you see here, the common wrapper with the 1985 on top right corner of pack and the Win All Star game trip promo and then the plain red wrapper with no 1985 or All Star promo ad on top.



    This is plain red wrapper variation, also tougher to find:

    Actually, there are packs right out of the box that had white wrappers with no red ink.

    With no fading of the blue color at all?

    I would yield to Tim's expertise in this particular situation.

    My original thought was that it was in the sun, but I agree that with no blue fading at all it has to be printed that way.
