Whenever I see a bold/barely visible 91 Topps variation in the COMC Data Base, I do break them out. I was surprised to add a couple in the past couple of weeks.
This overproduced era has some master set challenges with 91 leading the parade. 1991 Donruss and the stripes/pattern variations are up there as well.
Couple of other notes
IIRC -- 1991 Topps was produced at more than one factory because of the sheer volume of cards made. That also caused some of the variations
I think every year from 1987-92 Donruss has variations because the factory sets were made differently than the unopened pack cards.
Also, I know I've run into people who disagree but I'm still wish (and told Topps that back in the day) there had been some stamp to indicate a pack pulled card. The point was how to create extra value. As I pointed out, a friend of mine pulled a 1989 common and what could he do with that card. If the card had a stamp it would have bad more value.
