Some of the stuff I collect.
All 3 versions of 88 score.
1990's Upper deck with diffferent holograms.
1993 especially with 3 different versions of gloss on the back
1991 Topps - light and dark logos on A+B sheets, and all cards with UV reactive ink on the back or unreactive. Or less commonly slightly reactive.

There's tons of variations in the late 90's stuff since the cards were printed at multiple locations. And each location varied in their reaction to different mistakes. And for some reason the companies actually bothered to fix them.

And it continues today
Heritage this year has two different backs.
And Gypsy queen has two different backs or cardboard -I'm still not sure which.

And the addition of extra steps like embossing, foiling, die cutting, all lead to more interesting printing errors!

I'm really glad most of it is really cheap!

I can't imagine collecting so many different niches (pertaining to all of the different stuff you collect). I am in the middle of cutting back as I type this. Man o Man.....I don't see how you do it. I go crazy with tobacciana and pre-war type cards....I can't imagine all of the other era's thrown in too. It's mind boggling.
