Topps 1991

[Harliduck]

I had quit buying Topps packs in 88...and just bought the complete sets. But in 1991 that changed as I certainly bought into the "chase" of vintage cards. I can remember getting box after box from Costco...who knows how many I opened and I still have all those unsearched in boxes stored deep in a closet.

Awesome article, and when he mentioned the one fellow who only got 1 1968 common I do feel fortunate I did hit a vintage card. I got a 1970 Cito Gaston (semi high number) and was pretty stoked when I hit that. Problem was it's massive miscut!! Mint, but wow, why would they insert that? For my master 1970 Topps set I do have that Cito in the binder as it's pretty cool I opened a pack with a 1970 Topps card, my birth year.

Here is the 1970 Topps card I pulled in a 1991 Topps pack -




I never put that set together, I probably have a couple in those boxes...future project...

I ripped a few boxes in 1991, but didn't find anything. My luck anyway would have produced a checklist from the 1990 set.

I can remember hearing a lot of "my buddy in Peoria got the Yount rookie", "that's nothing - my dentist's cousin in Spokane nabbed the '57 Ted Williams", and so on and so on.

Thanks for posting that article - very fun read. I bought 2 wax boxes back in the day and have since purchased two more. I still don't have a complete set, and I never pulled any vintage card. Got the Boyd error though.

I wonder how many of the vintage cards are still out there? There's certainly no shortage of unopened '91 Topps yet to be ripped. Did Topps ever publish a list of who won what?
