Here are a few examples
#146 Dan Plasac 34 glow 3 non-glow
#150 Cal Ripken 34 glow 5 non-glow
#253 Gary Templeton 36 glow 5 non-glow
#71 Jim Acker 12 bold glow 1 bold non-glow

I've opened a few 1991 Topps items lately, A 100 count Jumbo pack (no bolds, glow/no glow mix), some 40 count Jumbo packs (no bolds, glow/no glow mix), some 45 count Rack packs (no bolds, I think mostly no glow), and for years I've had some cello boxes (34/pack) sitting around.
All of my cello packs have had all bold sheet A & B cards in one grouping in the back of the pack. All are Glow. But it does sound like if I want to get what I'll consider my "master" set, I'll have to do some looking for Bold, no-glow backs.
All of the cards in the 34/pk cello that could have statistical errors have them, so I'm assuming these were "early" boxes. In the first box, I got a Whiten hand over, but the Storm Davis had no registration mark. In the second box, the Whiten was hand under, but I got two Storm Davis with a registration mark. Boyd (pink corner in cello, hand over in a rack). Hoiles (black border in all so far), Drabek (none in box 1, black in box 2). I'm sure I got all of these from the same estate auction, probably in the late 1990s or early 2000s... So it seems the consistency of some of these print variations may be random and not found in any specific pack type.
I cut the tape on a factory set, but haven't decided whether to pull these cards out as they have been factory packed (AKA, the ribbed edge look, where when humans sort them, the edges are even). So I guess I'll just dig in there and see where things are... I think someone said the sets are all glow, so I guess I'll see, but I assume "data" on the complete sets is pretty well known.
I'm guessing, opening the rest of my 34/pk Cello, could pay for what I could get for them if I get more Davis or Whiten cards, but I guess I won't hold out hope for Drabek or Hoiles. (but then I'd have to put them all in order)
