I understand that the tan back were the original printings without the logo. Is it possible that the 1987 was the second printing, but with the original 1982 copyright? If so, is there away to tell the white back 1982 from the 1987? 

I appreciate any insight.

These also exist perforated and cut. Not sure if one is 1982 and one is 1987, or if both varities were issued in one of those years.

From past experiences with the 1987 TCMA reprints.  The BLUE print back would be original, and the BLACK print backs would be the reprint, but retain the same copyright date as the original print.  And depending on when the reprints were done in 1987 they may come without the MLB logo (early reprints) or with the MLB logo (later reprints), and in some cases both variations may be available.
