Is this what is considered a 1982 Ripken Blackless?

I have seen topics about the blackless 1982 cards. Is this a copy of that variation?

not sure what that is but the blackless are cards that are missing black ink on the front. the names and the topps logo would be missing. I don't think every card has a blackless version but someone else can clarify or confirm that

A bunch of those counterfeits were made in the 80s I believe. I remember seeing a bunch of them in the MD area back then.

No, the blackless cards have complete backs and are missing the black on the front of the card.

Here is a good example from Timbo's set:

In the latest Tuff Stuff, there's something mentioned about the cards in an article (shameless plug) that I was a part of. It's on page 2 of the article.
