1991 Topps Desert Shield Packs
I have 32+/- 1991 Topps Desert Shield packs; 16 "authenticated" by BBCE a while back (they no longer authenticate packs) and 16 raw that I purchased a while ago.
Packs have been stored in heat sealed wrapping to prevent moisture from damaging the gum/packs. I've been toying with opening up some of the raw packs to check on the damage, if any to the cards as well as to see how they would grade out. While I was inspecting the packs, I noticed a spot where the packs were sealed "glowed" under UV light. I never noticed this before. We previously determined Topps was experimenting with ink brighteners during the printing of this set - but this is a first for me. Does anyone have a regular 1991 Topps pack they can check under black light to see if it also glows? Just curious if both packs glowed under black light. |

The closest I have is 89 and 90 Topps DoubleHeader packs and they do not glow on the flaps were sealed. Hopefully someone with some regular wax packs can help you out. |

Ben,
The BBCE authenticated packs have a seal over the "glow" spot, so I can't tell. |

I have a couple of boxes unopened 91s . The ones I checked do not seem to glow under black light but to be honest I am not sure what I am supposed to be looking for or at

I believe on the back where the top flab of the pack is glued down.
