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

It does exist but it is very minor in difference. I used to sell the pairs many years ago but stopped pulling them once they stopped selling.

Currently I have just a fraction of 1991 Topps that I used to but I will dig around and see if I can pull together both versions.

This one on COMC is the smaller space version, as far as I can tell:

Because it was on the list I was looking for more than a Minor difference. I thought it was going to be more like Ducey, Patterson and the others that are on the list.

There are probably dozens of examples with minor differences in their registration and trademark positions. I keep the recent cards I purchased in separate boxes but in a
quick check of my old cards I only had to look a few cards in to find an example with a minor difference. In my eyes these Kelley examples are easier to detect than the Sojo.

Interesting that these two are both E* players.

I don't think there is any sheet relationship. I had all of the recent boxes I opened separated and I just started breaking them down and putting all of the cards together.

Here are two Duncan registration variations from the A* sheet.

All off the #53 Mike Sharperson cards with a glow back have a white mark in the upper left outside blue border while none of the non glow backs have the mark
which adds to the thought that the fronts for the glow and non glow backs were printed separately.

The top group are glow backs and the bottom group are non glow backs

I don't know if it was intentional or accidental but when Topps made the 26 corrections that they announced in early 1991 they ended the glow and non glow bold logos that were printed on the A* and B* sheet subjects.
