Can someone explain the difference between the black parallel

and the Walmart black
http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Subsets.cfm/sid/73731
parallel sets?
Thanx

I can't say for sure, but it looks like the Walmart Black sets didn't have the "60 years of collecting" on the front of the card like the regular black cards did. I never knew there were two different sets, some of the scans might have been put in the wrong sets, maybe there is a different explanation.

Gee, Thanks Topps. I have a black border, and I don't know which one it is.

Hi All. The 2011 Black are numbered /60 on the back, just like the Hope Diamond. Wal-mart Black were available in Wal-mart retail packs and not numbered. I'm new to the site, but saw some pictures uploaded (Hanley R. and Max Scherzer, I think) in the "Black" section that weren't numbered on the back, so they're in the wrong section. Also, with Wal-mart Black, the whole card front is darkened, except the player. With a true "Black" just the border is black. jupiterhill is right, the true "Black" also has the "60 years of collecting" on the card front. Hope this helps. |

Bumping this up because it pertains to a current forum topic.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster. |

Thank you old forum thread for answering my question.......oh Topps, you make this so time consuming to put the right cards in the right place.
