These two are tricky. The Olson helmet thing may be the result of on an offset or misaligned plate that creates the effect of the A entering the inner border frame. I was always skeptical of it as a true variation but it seemed accepted by everyone else.
To clarify the Murphy, this refers to the piece of burgundy border/frame that touches his bat. The Murphy bat variations should be fairly easy to find, ten+ years ago, I saw both so frequently I stopped pulling them from boxes. I hope this helps make some sense of these two.

I'll have to scan them sometime, but I haven't really seen the group with a spot in the 40th logo mentioned.
Not uncommon. |

I am documenting some boxes and before I get too far along on it I was looking for opinions on how I am documenting the packs.
Here's an example of one of the packs I documented img304.jpg There is no need to document the backs for every pack because every pack in the box has the same pattern The above pack came from this box and here's the pattern for that box img304 - Copy.jpg If anyone has any suggestions on doing something different let me know. |

I have been alternating opening 4 packs from each box. There are a few patterns in some of the packs from the two different boxes but nothing like when I just opened pack #25 from the cello box right after I had just opened #24 from the wax box.
All of the wax packs have 7 A-C sheet cards in one half and 8 D-F sheet cards in the other half the cello is the reverse of that. Here's the A-C half of each pack in the order that they were in the packs the D-F cards are all different. Wax.... Cello 265 *A 265 *A 100 *B 100 *B both are the 10 hits variation 315 *C 315 *C 790 *C 244 *A 686 *B 686 *B 96 *A 33 *C 625 *C 700 *C .>>>>756 *A Here are the cards. The wax pack cards are on the left or top and the cellos are on the right or bottom [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [/IMG] |

I remember when I opened a few hundred cello packs the collation was pretty spot on. If you got X, you'd get Y. I also got a number of cello packs with a bright red card back showing through the back of the cello. I can't remember if I opened all of those or not.

About to give up, a gamble pays off
I've got probably between 10,000 and 15,000 1991 Topps baseball cards now.
I've been snapping up every lot that looks like it has potential on ShopGoodwill.com. I was down to needing only: - 2 non-A*B* dark logo variations (120 Joe Carter and 270 Mark McGwire with the . missing before 1987 SLG 618) - 7 non-dark logo variations (Morgan, Boyd w/black border present, Bush w/no print code, Trebelhorn w/A* print code, Whiten, Checklist 5 with #433 Palacios, and Drabek) - all (62) of the A*B* dark logo variations. I had won an auction for an 800-count box of 1991 Topps baseball, but I was having regret because it was going to be over $25 including shipping, and I thought I was going to be throwing away that money. Since I AM a baseball card collector (and a gambler, which goes without saying), I decided to go ahead and pay for the auction. I received the cards today aaaannnnnd..... I pulled the Bush no print code and the Treblehorn A* print code. AMAZING! Also, there were a TON of dark logo cards, but not the 120 Joe Carter. I forgot to check the McGwire. I also didn't check any of them for A*B* yet. Will do tonight. KEEP THE FAITH! |

McGwire could possibly be an exception as he can be found with 618 and .618 in the bold 40th, which the A*B* cards are part of. Still doubtful.

It's very slight, but those two black layers are different.
