Has anyone ever heard of the 1988 Topps Big #179 Card - Mark McGwire having a blank(white) back? I have 2 cards, one has stats on the back and the other is blank. I have scoured the internet and can find no mention of this anomaly. Thank you for any information you can provide!

It was not uncommon for Topps to let "blank backs" slip through the production line especially during the late 1980s when everything was being overproduced. Basically they are flawed cards that missed a step in the printing process so there is no inherent value attached to them and they are not recognized by card databases. They are not normally sought after unless someone collects that specific player. I am a player collector and have several in my collection.
