From memory I think they are close to 50/50 regular/glow backs if bought in packs. It was close to that in the 1000's I sorted through. I think all the sets are glow backs. I kinda remember this being discussed before. |

I may not get the specifics, but the signs of OCD are universal.

1991
Sean-- without having the slightest idea what you have I guarantee you do not have a "master " set, if by master you mean every single possible front and back variant or combination thereof

The very dark red cards were maybe a hundred out of 5-10,000 but could turn out to be common in a different batch. Another source shows ones where the frame glows but the logo doesn't, something I'll have to check for. I also had a few where the cardstock itself reacted with a light bluish white. But there were very few of them, and I couldn't rule out some transfer of fibers/brightener from white paper. I've seen them a couple other places, so maybe it's another version. I found the glowing backs by accident. I had a nice new blacklight for stamps, and was basically just shining it on the entire room in the dark. Had a box of 91s open and it lit up pretty good, but only about half of it. Steve B |

And as one of those "unexplainable stuff Topps did" things, a yellow brightener layer has got to be right up there. A whole additional plate just to print a layer that's essentially invisible in practice.

I'll have to check and see what some of mine look like.
The only evidence I've seen of it is the Ryan that Ben posted. I always figured it was different ink used by different printers, or just from a different supplier. The yellow is light enough I could have missed it, but now I have an idea what to look for it should be findable if it's there. Steve B |
