Misc backs - Not enough info to be sure how many there are.

Cardstock reacts to UV, typically a light bluish glow. - Possibly different cardstock, possibly a bad batch of paper, or contamination from something.
Ink reacts as a very dark red. - Requires a fairly powerful UV light to make it easily visible
Other contrast differences that are really hard to pin down. Most I attribute to plate wear or different levels of inking.
There are front UV differences as well. But I haven't studied them enough to say anything more than they exist. Like some have a clearcoat that reacts a very light green to UV.
So four backs for sure, possibly eight if the reactive paper comes all four ways, and up to 12 if the dark red comes with reactive paper and light or dark logos.
The desert shield should only come one way. But..........It's Topps so maybe not. (I only have a few, 3? 5? I forget)
