Awesome this just helped me identify some 1984 cards I got today I thought they was just an extremely clean mint card with how glossy they was they are absolutely perfect cards only got like a hundred of them they was in a random box of cards I got for ten bucks
Topps Glossy and Topps Tiffany. Mix in OPC with regular Topps and the better quality updated sets, and you got a whole lot of question marks for new collectors.
I think one of the main reasons people on eBay are labelling the base topps cards as Tiffany is because they simply don't know. The hobby has changed since the pandemic and there are a lot of newbie collectors that don't really know or are misinformed. Let's not forget some are scammers. So in the video one of the Canseco listings was labelled Tiffany but the person was only asking 5 dollars. That is an example of a misinformed seller. The ones that are scammers are the ones that list the base cards for thousands of dollars. I may start looking for and buying some of the cheap "Tiffany" listings. There is always the chance that I could get a great Tiffany card for cheap.
I agree with you that most sellers are probably misinformed and innocent. Hopefully this video will help someone. But I don't agree you should "take a chance" on buying Tiffanys that aren't Tiffanys. I think when people buy fake or mislabeled cards, it only encourages people to be misleading. Good luck and look at the backs carefully before buying. Thanks for the comment.
If only we could get someone to police the false eBay listings for Tiffany, O-Pee-Chee, Topps Cloth, etc... The new collectors really need this info because several well established sellers are preying on that lack of knowledge. I report them constantly. Thanks...
great video.
Thanks dude!!

Yep. And confused sellers.

Yes! I'd like that too. But ebay probably really doesn't care.
🤔 I remember getting commons in mixed packs of Fleer and Topps.
