I checked and have a D12611 code card, so is that previously unknown.

No, it was a mistake on my part. I believe that is the last card, both my working sets have it as well.

Don't forget about the rare football backs

Just pulled a vending case from storage. If I get enough time I'm going to bust it.

Just got an Oscar Azocar and Joe Torre stat box error out of the same box! Have only seen one copy of the Azocar on these boards and the Torre is the first I've ever seen! Still trying to find a Rader #231 and a Bud Harrelson #261.

In case you ever bust that case; I wonder if they put in any of their buy back cards into said case

As I recall Topps was supposed to have gone into the market and bought 3 full set runs, 1952 to 1991. One run was the grand prize if you drew the right Game Winners card. Other winners cards were good for one of the full sets. The third run, 1957 on was distributed in packs. Not sure how many may still be lying around in unopened packs. From 52 to 56 there were redemption cards in packs. Not sure how many in those years were not redeemed. I also seem to recall that some high value post 56 cards also had to be redeemed and were not included in packs, but not sure

Still looking for 3 of the serial numbered game cards to complete a run

I've been peering into this 1991 Topps rabbit hole for a little while... and I've seen all the info about the printing variations, error/corrected stats, A*B*, E*F*/F* sheet variation cards (which I probably won't seek out). I'm just trying to confirm the back BOLD and GLOW variations. I know the A & B sheet cards are the only ones with the bold back logo, so 264 cards (if you count the managers, which most don't, but probably the same boldness, just not as obvious because no logo so minimal red is printed over anything).

Are all the bold back cards glow backs?

... and am I assuming that all the other 792 cards are available in both glow & non-glow?

So is my count correct (not counting "other variations") that there should be
792 Non-bold Glow back
792 Non-bold, NON-Glow
...sorry, I don't have the following number off the top of my head...
250-something Bold Back Glow Back
250-something Bold Back NON-Glow back?

IIRC Topps had redemptions for all cards which Booked (Listed in Beckett) for $50 or more at the time. Meaning a card which was under $50 then but over now could well be in the packs (1966T Grant Jackson anyone)
