91 Topps Variations

[4reals]

Side note - I was just thinking about the overprinted number thing. The stat back boxes might be limited to the 12 cards mentioned in the previous post, however, if the entire sheet was mixed up then that means there are variations for all cards on sheets C&D. I will try and find an example to show what I'm trying to say.

nice detective work! It sounds like Canseco wouldn't have one then. I'll still be on the lookout though

Has anyone noticed that sometime in the print run the bold logo started to fade to give it a half finished look?

I did notice this on ebay if it is what you're talking about.

I went through roughly 20,000 '91's and pulled 5 of the logos that looked like they ran out halfway through printing. Just trying to understand the difference between all the backs. I haven't found any of those coach backs but have found 4 different backs for some(half bold logo makes 5)

5 out of 20,000. They seem quite scarce. Great finds! Perhaps they're transitions from the bold logo to the screened logos, no one will probably ever know.

I gave up hope on this theory...kinda burned out on the whole thing right now. If someone else finds one let us know!
