I got mine in a trade with BubbaV304 (Bob) - it was a mix of printed backs and blank backs, BUT they were '86 Fleer, not that it matters.

Then send in an IR to have it removed and I will personally send it to ADMIN, He removes it great, he leaves it great, Bigger things to worry about than whether a checklist I uploaded years ago is worthy.

Still nothing but blank back printing glitches. Just like all the other blank back cards printing in that era.

When I was a kid and you asked the guy at the counter for the empty box for the cards more often than not they had the backs, sometimes they were blank. Specifically remember this. Years later I bought an unsorted lot of cards and there were many of these wax bottom cards in the lot. Most had back info, some did not. I added the set from the evidence in front of me and my memories of buyting 88 OPC.

I know two of the Evans' are misprints, I never lobbied to get them added for that reason, The third has no color/registration issues so it may have been produced as a box. I have no experience buying these off the shelf to say either way.

I have the Beniquez box cards (printed back and blank back) from that set - just OPC, never seen a Topps blank back. I also have a single OPC with a blank back and cyan front.
