So, I have decided to take on this set. As a kid, I fondly remember opening many packs of normal 1991 Topps...so the thought of assembling a rare parallel set is extremely appealing to me. I know there are a lot of fake out there...so I did some research before buying my first example. I decided to buy a common that looked like a good example and I'm happy with the purchase (purchased a Griffey Sr.).
Based on my online research...and stamp appears to be good. But, since this is the first example I have seen in hand I wanted another set of eyes to verify that it is authentic. I have posted a photo of the stamp. If someone could check it out I would really appreciate it. Thanks. ![]() |

Here's a couple things I know about this set. Topps used 3 different gold foils while making this short print set. The logo will also vary slightly from player to player but will be the same on all cards of the same player.
There are some great previous threads on these cards, use the search function. Member Zach Wheat is a great guy and has a ton of knowledge on these cards. |

I have read several of those threads...I used them when I bought this. I think it looks good but I'd like an additional opinion as this is the first example I've seen in hand.

Sent you a PM. Incase you did not get it let me know your address and I will send you a common I 100% guarantee is real for free. Then you will have a real one to compare to future purchases.
