As a long time collector of junk era wrong backs I agree with Al there are no checklists because of the several different backs that can have the same player on the front. It depends on how the wrong back was made. The printer could have loaded the right sheets backwards or loaded the wrong sheets or a combination of both. There are up to 11 different wrong back cards possible in the 91 Topps set for each card.
