Well if the 1992 Sun Sentinel article originally referenced in the 1st 1991 Topps DS thread is accurate - and this is supported by comment by the Topps Spokesperson at the time (Timm Boyle) who indicated a production of 5,400,000 cards or 6,818 sets and the current non-glow back percentages apply, there would only be 21 "non-glow" backs of each card.
Timm Boyle also mentioned that they assumed only a third to half of their production actually made it back to the US - including the large shipment of 1,500,000 cards sent back to Myrtle Beach after the conclusion of Desert Shield (and the start of Desert Storm), then there can't be many of each card. Completing a full set of non-glow back DS cards would be achievable but probably not realistic within the normal realm of possibilities.
