I don't have the same fascination with 91' as many others do, 85' is my jam and the many variations and releases.

However, I admit to having a 10 Clemens in base and DS simply because I just absolutely love the photo. The last of an era for sure and amazing photography.

Well, you may or may not be glad to hear that the "glow backs" also apply to the 85s. It's not as obvious, but it's there sometimes.


It may be a thing for a lot of sets, I found some 83s the other day that were the same way.

I had quit buying Topps packs in 88...and just bought the complete sets. But in 1991 that changed as I certainly bought into the "chase" of vintage cards. I can remember getting box after box from Costco...who knows how many I opened and I still have all those unsearched in boxes stored deep in a closet.

Awesome article, and when he mentioned the one fellow who only got 1 1968 common I do feel fortunate I did hit a vintage card. I got a 1970 Cito Gaston (semi high number) and was pretty stoked when I hit that. Problem was it's massive miscut!! Mint, but wow, why would they insert that? For my master 1970 Topps set I do have that Cito in the binder as it's pretty cool I opened a pack with a 1970 Topps card, my birth year.

Here is the 1970 Topps card I pulled in a 1991 Topps pack -




I never put that set together, I probably have a couple in those boxes...future project...

I ripped a few boxes in 1991, but didn't find anything. My luck anyway would have produced a checklist from the 1990 set.

I can remember hearing a lot of "my buddy in Peoria got the Yount rookie", "that's nothing - my dentist's cousin in Spokane nabbed the '57 Ted Williams", and so on and so on.

Thanks for posting that article - very fun read. I bought 2 wax boxes back in the day and have since purchased two more. I still don't have a complete set, and I never pulled any vintage card. Got the Boyd error though.

I wonder how many of the vintage cards are still out there? There's certainly no shortage of unopened '91 Topps yet to be ripped. Did Topps ever publish a list of who won what?

Do you have a pic of an 85 Glowback?

Was at a local card shop today and saw they had 36 ct boxes of 1991 Topps...so I bought 2 thinking about this thread. Will be opening them tonight...thought what the heck...relive some old glory. Should be fun!







Edit to add - 72 packs, 1080 cards...no vintage and only 1 Chipper Jones... And LOTS of stale old gum!

YES...I found an old thread here with a list and spent a little time today looking through them. So crazy...I found both versions of the Ron Kittle in the same box??? How can that be? Between both boxes I got all three versions of one of the Checklists?? I even found some with the "error", and some with the corrected. Haven't really sorted them to do a more thorough look but just found that all really odd.

I don't have an organized 1991 set but do have a bunch tucked away as well. I think I may try and grab those and with these see how close I can come to a complete set with variations. What is that worth? 10 bucks? HAHAHA...I will admit some of the photography is pretty awesome, and the Clemens and Ricky H cards are really cool...

I enjoy those deeper looks at sets or even single cards
