91 Topps Variations

[ALR-bishop]

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

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.

Does anyone know what type of packaging the errors/vars were in? Cellos, vending, wax, jumbo, rack, factory sets. Can they found in all of them?

I've opened plenty of all and have errors/var. throughout everything. The stat back variations for me were found specifically in jumbo cellos.

How rare are the players with managers backs and vice versa? There's been on on ebay for a while. For any hardcore 1991 Topps collectors, how may have you ever seen?

I'm curious if there are All-Star cards and checklists with switched backs as well.

Last night I was tying to find the Oil Can Boyd I got as part of a group of sets, including a hand collated 91 Topps. I saw that black tip Boyd go for over $200 on ebay and seeing the clear pic was a big help.

Looking over the set with the card backs up, for at least the fifth time, since I found an Oscar Azocar manager back in it, I found something interesting. It's a Bobby Cox with a non-manager back!

That's two from the same HC set. I got another Azocar manager back a few weeks ago on COMC. The seller had it listed for less than a dollar. I tried to offer him $150.00 for it, but COMC's interface doesn't allow that. I plan to track him down and give him the money some day. Sometimes you can only pay it forward by paying it back.
