1991 Topps Desert Shield Production Figures

[ALR-bishop]

Zach—is it known if any of the Desert Shield packs had any of the older insert cards or instant winner cards Topps placed in their 40 year anniversary packs ?

Also—have all of the known DS packs been the 15 card type ?

Do we know how the DS cards were sent overseas and through what means ? And how many of those made were actually sent overseas ? And were DS cards sent or created only in pack form or were there factory DS sets ?

And I assume if someone bought what were purported to be DS packs that had not been authenticated as described in the article, the only way to confirm their authenticity is to open them

I have had two DS sets that I bought in the mid 90s. I sold one. When buying one of them the seller included a pack he claimed was a DS pack. It was a throw in for no charge. I did not realize I was getting the pack until the set arrived. I will never know if it is legit. Fortunately both sets were legit
