1991 Topps

[ALR-bishop]

Arthur--The 1991 Topps sets has by far the most variant cards of any Topps sets, front and back. I am positive no complete list exists. There are some threads in here on the task facing anyone who wants to put together a "master" set. While many of the variants might be viewed as only recuring print defects, the sheer number of front and back differences is daunting.

I will try to run down and post links to prior threads. There are some 1991 variations that have greater hobby recognition, like the Boyd differences, that are discussed in such threads. Also Dylan has a list of some notable variants on his Junk Wax Gems web site

Bob-- your favorite topics, errors and variations

Thanks, Al. I went back and reread the previous threads. I remembered about the Oil Can but that was about it. I was just hoping to chop the list down to, say, the rarest of the rare and look for those first. Then go back over time and look for all of the others as I sort through them.

I'm really starting to wonder why I bought 300 cello packs.

Ray, I'll put aside any that look like they've got a shot and PM you back at the ranch.

Bob's list is the tip of an iceberg. The different backs and front combos complicate it to no end. And don't forget the Desert Shield cards

Are all A*B* cards rare or are there legitimate A*B* cards and it's just the A* sheet cards that have been seen with A*B* that are rare?

All A*B* cards rare. I recently had a small quanity that quickly sold at $5 each.

The most valued A*B* card is mostly the Mark McGwire A*B* card, which seems to never turn up for sale.

[HasselhoffsCheeseburger]

Thank you, sir.

If I read the A*B* article correctly, so far they've all had bold "40th Anniversary" backs.

I just pulled a faded A*B*.

I'm 44 cellos in. I've pulled two different Oil Can Boyds, both versions of the Ryan RB, one pack of bold "40th Anniversary," and some other stuff. My question is, in that list is the suffix-a card always the correct and most common version?

I've also got a cello with bolds viewable through the back that I'm keeping sealed.

All of the A*B* cards should all have bold "40th Anniversary" backs.

I think you might have a Tiffany card, which does have a faded A*B* back. It was probably inserted into a pack by mistake. See link:

I have not followed values recently on hobby recognized 1991 Topps variations. I have seen the scarcest Boyd card go for a fairly high premium. You might do and ebay search for current and completed Topps 1991 errors and variations, with a highest price first filter. Or send Dylan, Jacksoncoupage a pm for his input, especially on the sheet designation question

[HasselhoffsCheeseburger]

Thanks again, Al. In one of the threads someone made reference to the Hoiles and Whiten as being tough so I'll add those on top of the Oil Can. I think part of this may be me stalling getting started on it. I've got a small air conditioner box filled top to bottom, side to side with cellos. I think I'll go see if my dentist can squeeze me in.

Drabek and Ventura as well

I am selling one of the Boyd cards within a box of 1991 Topps errors that I managed to snag from a goodwill. The Boyd I have is the one with the black banner tip and no squiggly marks on the hat.
