Anyone know if all 1984 Topps cards came in this variation? I have looked through over 1700 Andre Dawson 1984 Topps cards and did not find a single one with head in box

Pretty sure the head in box was a test and possibly a 1/1 type Topps Vault product. I saw them sell a Rickey before.

The quantity of these cards are unknown but they are definitely not 1/1. They are basically Topps proofs from sheet "A". They are blank backed and sports collectors digest says there are 66 different cards like this including an Andre Dawson.

This Dawson is currently on ebay(not mine)

There are more than 66. I had an uncut sheet a few years back which I made a killing on after I cut them up. Supposedly more rarer than the blackless, but who knows?

They said the sheets had 66 cards on them. I am not sure how many sheets were made though.

I'm sure a zillion of these were tossed back in the day and even now.

1988 topps glossy all star offer card.

In error, Topps printed "cards not included" and they quickly corrected it AFTER they covered it up with this error.

Just picked up a Dave Martinez 1990 Fleer Yellow on COMC. I'm not sure the going rate on these. I'm assuming $2 was a decent price?

Here is the latest variant I have found out about... 2006 Fleer. The team logo (on the front AND the back) have either the copyright circle R, or the Trademark TM... Bust out your variants boys!

I heard about a couple of variations I didn't know existed today from bbcgalaxee in 2002 bowman draft.

BDP125 Bret Myers can be found with his last name as Myers or Meyers on the card back
BDP133 Drew Henson can be found with his position as either OF or 3B on the card back

I checked my inventory and out of 9 Hensons I had (3) 3b variations and from 7 Myers I had (4) Meyers variations.
