I have always loved the 1991 Topps set for the endless variations. A few years ago, I sold ALL of my complete Topps run, but I couldn't part with my 1991 set.
But there was always one card I could never find, the Oil Can Boyd card WITH the flag tip over his hand AND the black border. I searched and searched and searched. I ripped wax boxes, cello packs, jumbos, but could never find one. I have been looking for this card for YEARS. Not anymore. Recently, I saw two copies on eBay, and finally grabbed one. It arrived today. Of course, I showed it to my girlfriend, excitedly trying to explain (with my magnifying glass) how THIS one is different from THESE two, and it is SUPER rare. Then I realize that she is looking at me like I have two heads. "But they look the same." "No, see THIS one has his hand over the flag, and THIS one has the flag over his hand, and THIS one has the flag over his hand WITH the border added back in. Look, you can see it with the magnifying glass. This one is REALLY rare." (Eyebrow raised). "Uh, ok. How much did you pay for that again?" So anyway, I finally found the card I have been searching for. ![]() |
