Sorry, but I'm not that lucky (and I've never put anything through a grading company nor will I). So I might have one that qualifies for a "10", but I'll never know. And I'm happy that way.

Happy collecting!

An eye-feast of awesomeness. Always some new ones I never noticed before. I could stare for hours. The Stadium Club "rainbow" caught my eye this time... very nice touch

Too funny! I’ve always had the plain unsigned Decade /10 and it’s always bothered me it wasn’t signed in all that blank space!

Those are so well done. Very cool. Just for fun, I'll throw out a random 1-of-1 picture (I don't have this one, but fun to gawk at).

Happy Monday friends! Hope you had a great weekend.

Starting off this week with a super rare 1982 Topps Magentaless, yes - read that again. While Blackless is most well known, Magentaless is the most obscure. Once the Topps plant isolated the black ink issues and corrected it, they had to retest and calibrate the systems one color at a time basically to get back into full production. This Magentaless is from those recalibration tests and should have been destroyed like others have been at both the Philly and NY plants. I’ve been told that less than 5 sheets exist for each color test!

The only other Magentaless card ever seen was apparently a Rick Waits (Card #573)!

So while I may never own a 1982 Blackless, I am super lucky to have this Magentaless instead! Absolutely bonkers…#havefunwithcards
