Help with 80's & 90's Topps Oddball Sets

[4reals]

Hi Dylan,

I was hoarding 91 Topps for a while and noticed that all the rack pack boxes had these poster advertisements inserted into them. Not sure if it's something of interest to you, just thought I'd share.

Thanks for looking out, Joe!

I don't need the posters currently, just the cardboard game/offer/advertisement pack and factory set inserts.

What about the 91 topps game/offer insert cards? There were a bunch of different code variations (I believe AL might have a list). I have a stack of those I could look through if you need any. Let me know.

I have two working sets right now and will message back with a list of needs on my first (main) set. I think I'm down to about 30-40 tops.

I need 3 to be done and sorry I ever started them

I do have a self made checklist of sorts

These two current WIP sets are #5 and #6 attempts I've made over the years. And each time there has been 5 or 6 numbers that I can't locate. I'd bet they included your missing three. I know that since you have mentioned them in forums, I have kept a watch for them and haven't seen them.

After 6 attempts at these and more boxes/cases/sets/3200 and 5000ct boxes than anyone should rationally be sorting through, I stand by my belief that some numbers are short-printed. Likewise, there are sequences or short stretches that appear to be double or triple printed. Another interesting observation: the printing was changed as some point, slightly different ink and card stock variations exist for these cards, however, I am not gonna go near that.

Thanks for the info Dylan.

Maybe it's like the missing 58 or the missing 56s. Topps just wanted you to look for them
