When these were listed in the various VAR, someone used "No Copyright on back" as a VAR. The copyright line is there; what is actually missing is the print sheet lettering. Or am I wrong and don't know what the copyright symbol is?

You are correct. Whomever put those in there doesn't know their terminology. They all have copyrights, but are missing a sheet designation.

We have a problem with those who don't know proper terms; or don't think it makes a difference. They seem to always use the excuse, "Oh, you know what I meant."

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

Of course, we need to have a proper, clear, understandable Note for these VARs. One that even a novice would understand. Possibly, "Copyright has no letter prefix." ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

And how many people ask, "What's a print code?" I'd say a majority don't know what those designators in front of the copyright line are. jimetal7212 wrote: '94 Topps uses VAR: no print code on back ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

Fixed the Big set's nomenclature. Sorry, I think I'm the one who caused the confusion. ------------------------------- -- Dan -- Note: Please see my profile for more info regarding trading (section updated 3/4/2024).
