1991 Topps info. for those just as crazy as I am

[steve B]

I know a few people are into the 91 Topps, and I decided to actually keep track of some stuff when I opened a box recently. First box of anything I've opened in a long time except for blasters.

Anyway, except for the first couple packs, here's the order the cards were in.
they were all in the pack with the back facing back and the ones in front of the insert with the back facing front. except for two cards that were in reversed, indicated with an r after the number. A bunch of the cards were damaged from the gum, some the gum wouldn't come off at all. the rest were anywhere from almost totally wrecked to barely stained at all.
back to insert, front to insert

12 totally ruined by gum

And here's the list of variations that were there. Most I think were really common. The list I used was from Junkwax gems, (best list, in many ways better than the list I made myself years ago. ) with an addition or two from another online source. There were a few I thought could be unlisted, one I'm very confident about, the others I have to compare to what I've already got. I marked those with * before the card number.
I didn't see any with the spot in the 4 of the 40th logo.
And I haven't checked the backs with the blacklight yet.
I also didn't look much for *a*b varieties, I don't think there were any unless they're below.
One other bit of odd info. All the a and b sheet cards had dark blue, the rest were lighter.
