I believe 'errors' were intentionally printed. 1990 and '91 were the worst.
I have some '91 Topps fronts, with 1989 Topps *football* backs. |

I do have a couple 91 Fronts with Football backs. As a matter of fact a Jose Canseco and Frank Thomas were a part of my submission to BGS.

I have some Topps baseball with 79 fronts and 78 backs. From the junk era I have blank fronts, blank backs, and wrong backs from most years/companies. They are my favorite cards. The Topps are very easy to find but but some of the others are very hard to find.

I have some of those 79/78 cards too. I think Topps used whatever cardboard was around as unfinished product for press adjustment or to produce other products.
I also have baseball fronts with Mork and Mindy sticker backs - not actually stickers but the sticker image. And a Bazooka bubble gum box with 1978 Topps baseball backs inside. Another has black hole card backs inside. Steve B |

I did see a Heidelberg-Harris 6 color press being built. They were testing out making a metric spec press here in the US. They were a very early adopter of what's called integrated supply - where the company has maybe 3-5 suppliers for everything and gets massive discounts based on volume. They were doing that when most everyone was doing "just in time delivery" for parts and supplies. The company I was with was a distributor for a German hydraulic fitting company and I specialized in finding the less common stuff and identifying what customers wanted. HH came to me from the main office because their integrated supply partner for hydraulic stuff had to be told what page in what catalog a fitting was on even when given the part number At the time I knew our brands part numbers without looking them up, and knew their suppliers brand fairly well. maybe 20% without looking in the book. Over the course of a few months they bought what would turn out for some parts to be every piece available in the US aside from a few in stock at other distributors. One size of copper tube I had to get specially redrawn for them since the usual coils didn't work well with the compression fittings. Got to see one of the two they made when I dropped some stuff off at the factory. Massive machine. Steve B |

These are definitely printed on 1991 Topps Traded "white" card stock.
Also added a quick blurb with link to this thread on my blog.
