1991 Topps Double Front (Glossy/Matte)
Does anyone have any information on double front 1991 Topps cards? I have one that has a glossy player photo on one side and a matte player photo on the other. This is very similar to the 1990 Donruss and 1985 Topps double front cards, but I haven't seen another 1991 Topps and didn't know if there were any others known.
Here is my copy:

1991 Tools Double Front
That is really interesting because the back of a normal 1991 Tools card has a paper stock back. It has to be something made in small batches as paper stock just doesn't normally come that way. Interesting find...

The card shown above is a single card. It shows each side of the same card.
The glossy side looks the same as the front of any 1991 Topps card, but when flipped over there aren't any stats it is instead a picture of the other player. This second side I refer to the matte side, but it is a similar feel as a typical back of a 1991 Topps card.

My question is really if there are other double sided (picture of the player on each side) 1991 Topps out there. I am sorry if my use of the word matte confused anybody. I just wanted to point out that the finishing of a typical front was not used on the second side.

I noticed there are differences in how the photos were cropped also.
Notice on this normal Telford from COMC that his hat just barely breaks the inner border. On mine his hat is nearly to the outer border. There are other differences as well, but basically on my double front version there is more photo showing all around. Similar with the Barfield image on the original compared to mine. In the Barfield, though, his head breaks into the second border where on the original it stops short:
