The logo only affects A* and B* sheets. Technically. Some cards from other sheets can be found with "partial" bold 40th logos. I have yet to see a true bold 40th logo example of a C* D* E* or F* player.

I think at this point it is 100% certain that Topps used multiple facilities to print the 1991 cards. The changes and corrections to many cards were not linear in the production timeline. For example, one can open a box with the corrected Keith Comstock that also includes the error version of, say, Ron Kittle, while another box may yield the opposite versions.

Dylan: Keep sending in those updates; I do my best to get them in the CIOMC DB for you, If something does not get added that you sent; that usually means I could not figure that out. Please feel free to PM here or Send an Email and we'll chat on those few I can't figure out

Postage stamps have longwave (blacklight) and shorwave uv markers used for automatic sorting and mailing, and there are variations that are collected/valued by stamp collectors. Some of the variations are quite interesting.

And, if you're into German stamps, some shades respond to UV, some don't. Some of the shades that do react are hard to find and a handful can be pretty expensive.

I also have a couple foreign stamps that are on paper that reacts, and one on an envelope piece that reacts. That one is from the 1880's.

On a crazy "steve" side not, some early US stamps also have shades that react or not, and I haven't found that listed in any catalog. Collecting is very different from one country to the next, stuff we tolerate is very much looked down on in most of Europe.

Regarding the sheet corrections listed above, there was an "A" sheet and an "A*" sheet. The "*" means that original sheet was updated with corrections. A sheet can also have a number of corrections, but they kept the same "A*".

I haven't seen any cards from this set showing just the sheet letter without an asterisk. Do you have, or can you point me to, an example?
