Blank back printing errors
I am curious to know how common blank back cards are. I have a 1982 Topps, Moose Haas that is completely blank on the back. I remember pulling it from a package as a kid and thinking that it was kind of neat. Anyone else out there run across this type of printing error?

Blank back down through the ages have been fairly common esp. in the 80's and 70's

RE: Blank back printing errors
blank backs arent referred to as "errors", but rather as flaws. but blank backs (and missing foil/wrong backs, miscuts, etc) are more common during eras of heavy production. in the past 3 years, there has more of these flawed cards getting out, because production has been ramping up again (the strasburg/harper/trout effect)

RE: Blank back printing errors
Thanks for the replies, and setting me straight with the correct terminology that it is a flaw, not an error (been away from actively collecting cards for close to 20 years so I am behind the curve in many areas).
