Like Al mentioned the most known are printed backs and blank. Of the blank the tan is much rarer than the white to locate. Off the top of my head I think there were only 5 tan sheets. The red print only existed in only one known sheet. I have no idea as to how many of the error or swirl sheets exist.

As far as 85 having such variety adds to my love for the year. They had the minis, regular, Tiffany, and Giant. Newer finds included the Acme and Fuch proof version of the 85's that came to auction in 2015 can likely never be assembled as a set as only the 117 Acme cards and 100 Fuch cards are known. I was lucky enough to get type examples when board member TATSR broke some of the group up on eBay. There is one example posted on there now, these are blue backed.

Here is a current listing for an example because I don’t have a scan handy - https://www.ebay.com/itm/PSA-1985-To...4AAOSw6vBeBnsc

Edited to say the link was for example, that valuation is nuts. Lol.
