The Oil Can Boyd can bring good money. Not sure about any of the others. As far as glow backs and non glow backs. Neither are rare but I have seen some people trying to scam others with them.

Thanks, about what I figured. I might have the Boyd but that's it. No idea where I put it though..

Oil Can Boyd (flag tip), Mark Whiten (hand out of frame), and Chris Hoiles (border color difference) are the major $100 errors/variations. Only the real crazies go for the back differences or the sheet letters/asterisks.

Glad I am not a complete real crazy

I doubt a complete list of all possible variants to the 91 Topps set exists. Most of any Topps set

Not even close. 1998 or 1999 Tek has to be up there. 100 base cards, 90 parallels of each, plus additional diffractor parallels of the background parallels. Some ridiculous number of cards in a Master set.

I don’t believe that a 1998 Tek master set (including the diffractors) has ever been compiled. But for realistic, base Topps set, 1991 Topps has more variations than any other Topps base set if you count all of the pack issued base cards including: bold logos, A*B*, glow backs and all confirmed variations. And some count the Desert Shield and/or Tiffany cards.

It is definitely not limited at all. A very large chunk of the run received the print mark.
