I have 55 saved eBay searches. Multiple times a day I open my eBay app and go to saved searches and see if something popped up. Obviously one is Virdon but I have dozens of others that are Virdon with a second word. One of them is the word blank. The reason being if a Blank Back Virdon shows up on my regular search I was afraid I would miss it when I scan through them because the picture it shows will be the front and my brain automatically says, "you have that, keep scrolling". That Blank search has worked a few times.
It has worked so well in fact that I now have three 84 Blank Backs
I bought them all separate times. When bought numbers two and three I did so without consulting my list because I thought it must be rare so I snatched whatever BIN it was listed at. So now I have three. So now I wonder why are there so many 84 Topps Blank Backs? Why do I not see them in other years?

I've seen a fair share of blank backs (and fronts) on COMC (and from time to time in bins at card shows)... but have never pulled one from a pack myself. I wonder if they were slipped out the back door by Topps employees or got past quality control and inserted into packs.
I've thought about buying a few blank fronts and making my own one of a kind art cards. Maybe one day.
I've seen the most blank backs for 1987, although maybe it's because that year's set is everywhere.
