1991 Topps variations

[Pat R]

I have been alternating opening 4 packs from each box. There are a few patterns in some of the packs from the two different boxes but nothing like when I just opened pack #25 from the cello box right after I had just opened #24 from the wax box.

All of the wax packs have 7 A-C sheet cards in one half and 8 D-F sheet cards in the other half the cello is the reverse of that. Here's the A-C half of each pack in the order that they were in the packs the D-F cards are all different.

Wax.... Cello
265 *A 265 *A
100 *B 100 *B both are the 10 hits variation
315 *C 315 *C
790 *C 244 *A
686 *B 686 *B
96 *A 33 *C
625 *C 700 *C
.>>>>756 *A

Here are the cards. The wax pack cards are on the left or top and the cellos are on the right or bottom

I remember when I opened a few hundred cello packs the collation was pretty spot on. If you got X, you'd get Y. I also got a number of cello packs with a bright red card back showing through the back of the cello. I can't remember if I opened all of those or not.

I've got probably between 10,000 and 15,000 1991 Topps baseball cards now.

I've been snapping up every lot that looks like it has potential on ShopGoodwill.com.

I was down to needing only:
- 2 non-A*B* dark logo variations (120 Joe Carter and 270 Mark McGwire with the . missing before 1987 SLG 618)
- 7 non-dark logo variations (Morgan, Boyd w/black border present, Bush w/no print code, Trebelhorn w/A* print code, Whiten, Checklist 5 with #433 Palacios, and Drabek)
- all (62) of the A*B* dark logo variations.

I had won an auction for an 800-count box of 1991 Topps baseball, but I was having regret because it was going to be over $25 including shipping, and I thought I was going to be throwing away that money. Since I AM a baseball card collector (and a gambler, which goes without saying), I decided to go ahead and pay for the auction. I received the cards today aaaannnnnd.....

I pulled the Bush no print code and the Treblehorn A* print code. AMAZING!

Also, there were a TON of dark logo cards, but not the 120 Joe Carter. I forgot to check the McGwire. I also didn't check any of them for A*B* yet. Will do tonight.

KEEP THE FAITH!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the A*B* cards have errors/variations.

Haven't encountered enough copies to say but I would guess with 98% certainty that they do not.

McGwire could possibly be an exception as he can be found with 618 and .618 in the bold 40th, which the A*B* cards are part of. Still doubtful.

Acker is very likely a registration issue.
On one the black is printed fairly far up. You can see this on the top of the Topps logo.

I've added a few thousand 91 Topps Baseball cards to my pile. At some time this year, I found Checklist 5 with #433 Palacios. Might have been a COMC purchase. Anywho....

This post is to celebrate my latest find: the white inset border Drabek! It was in a lot of about 40 91 Topps baseball on ShopGoodwill. The Drabek was clearly visible in the photos. I was pretty surprised nobody else bid on it. $9.99 for the lot, and I combined it with a few other items from the same store, so shipping was basically free.

Whiten, Morgan, Boyd and McGwire to go!
