New & old 1991 Topps variations scarcity including backs (personal experience).

[Pat R]

Before I started seriously researching these I already knew from reading on here and other places the abundance of the variations in the 91 topps but when I started getting deeper in my research it became apparent that it was even more vast than I had thought.

Here's one example. Of the 5 subjects printed with the E* F* print codes I had already known from reading about them that the ones with the E* F* codes were far more common (close to 15:-1: ) than the F* codes (only printed with a non glow back) but the E* F* codes with a non glow back are actually a little more than twice as difficult as the F* codes.

Here are the statistics on the cards I have

E* F* codes with a glow back = 80.097%
E* F* codes with a non glow back = 6.310%
F* codes non glow back only = 13.592%

and to complicate things even more both the E* F* and F* non glow backs are found in a distinct burgundy/plum or bright red back (about 50/50).

Maybe there is some guy, or woman, at Topps who planned all this and has a master list they are holding to see if Pat ever gets it all fully mapped out

I will wager these were printed at more than one location and even if someone created a master list for fun at location #1 until they coordinated with location #2 the chance of a master list is slim and none and slim has already taken the last train out of town

I agree 100% Rich. I think there are far to many discrepancies that in my eyes can only be explained by them having been printed in more than one location.
