so there are bold and non-bold backs, glow and non-glow backs, and to make things more interesting topps sprinkled in some sheet code variations to give the set some more flavor. There are cards with both A*B* & A* sheet codes (A*B* being more difficult of the two), there are cards with E*F* & F* sheet codes (F* being more difficult of the two), #9 in the set has an F* sheet code and a second variation with NO sheet code (pictured). #124 in the set has an D* sheet code and a second variation with NO sheet code. #459 in the set (pictured) has variations with an A* sheet code, a B* sheet code, and an A*B* sheet code (A*) most tough.

Each sheet code variation also has the possibility of having glow and non-glow backs and bold and non-bold logos creating an unknown number of compound variations. To make matters more confusing card #s 155, 270, and 454 also have listed variations attached to them, so trying to figure out how many variations of each of those exist is next to impossible.

Here is a cut and paste list of card numbers in the set with sheet code variations:

5,9,13,54,63,72,76,83,87,120,123,124,153,155,170,1 77,178,190,192,193,
213,216,223,233,237,242,248,250,265,270,272,284,29 0,297,312,314,317,
345,382,384,422,440,452,454,459,463,475,478,480,48 1,509,532,538,584,
595,610,622,642,644,650,664,667,676,677,696,716,71 8,756,781,783,785

If a black hole could exist on earth it might take the form of a Topps 1991 Master set

[judsonhamlin]

And if you include all the different contest card codes, it could be a double black hole

I still need 3 of them for a "set"

Jackson--Maybe it is like the Topps 1996 Jacome, or the Topps 2002 Pujols, or the 62 Topps Stamp of Sievers as a Senator, or the 67 Punch Outs of Campaneris, Gibson, Grote, McMillan and B Robinson, or the 68 Plaks of Peters, F Robinson, Aaron, Drysdale and Mays ( well maybe not Mays)

I have 3 Ventura border versions. One red, one black, and one brown. Hard to see in the pictures, but easier to see in person.

Yep. There are three versions of the border error.

The brown is due to Topps printing the red border over the gray border.
