I know this some of this information probably resides in the Error and Variations thread, but I don't want to weed through 20 pages of that thread. I am trying to come up with a somewhat definitive list of variations in the 1991 Topps Baseball set. Here is the list that I have so far:
9 Darrin Fletcher - (a) no sheet designation (b) sheet designation (F* I believe)
49 Pat Borders - (a) 40 steals in Kinston 1986 (b) 0 Steal in Kinston 1986
80 Fernando Valenzuela - (a) 104 ER in '90 Tied League Lead (b) Led League
97 Brady Anderson - (a) â??Sept 2 RBI and 3 Hitsâ? (b) â??Set, 3 RBI and 14 Hits
100 Don Mattingly - (a) 10 Hits in 1990 (b) 101 hist in 1990
131 Checklist 1 - (a) #727 Phil Bradley (b) #727 Phil Bradley
155 Dwight Evans - (a) Lead league w/162 games in 1982 (b) tied for lead w/162 Games in 1982
167 Randy Tomlin - (a) Harriburg (b) Harrisburg
236 Frank Tanana - (a) Tied for lead w/269 Kâ??s on 1975 (b) Lead League w/269 Kâ??s in 1975
270 Mark McGwire - (a) 1987 Slug % 618 (b) 1987 Slug % .618
279 Jose Gonzalez - (a) Photo Billy Bean (b) correct photo
306 Lonnie Smith - (a) 136 Games in 1990 9b) 135 Games in 1990
324 Ron Kittle - (a) set another standard (b) tied another standard
337 Keith Comstock - (a) Cubs logo on front (b) mariners logo on front
366 Checklist 3 - (a) #19 Carl Nichols (b) #119 Carl Nichols
378 Wilson Alvarez - (a) 1989 & 1990 minor league stats deleted (b) stats included
461 Robin Ventura - (a) grey inner border (b) red inner border
454 Kevin Appier - (a) 1990 Omaha Stats deleted (b) stats included
526 Moises Alou - (a) 37 runs in 2 games for 1990 Pirates (b) 0 Runs in 2 games
527 Checklist 4 - (a) #105 Keith Miller #719 Kevin McReyolds (b) #105 Kevin McReyolds #719 Keith Miller
588 Mark Whiten - (a)Hand inside border (b)hand outside border
593 Mike Walker - (a) 1990 Canton Stats deleted (b) Stats included
599 Greg Myers - (a) 1990 Syracuse stats deleted (b) Stats included
603 Wes Chamberlain - (a) Photo Louie Meadows (b) correct photo
656 Checklist 5 - (a) 348 Palacios, 381 Lind, 537 Lavalliere (b) 438 Palacios 537 Lind 665 Lavalliere © 433 Palacios
674 Kevin Gross - (a) 1988 Tied for lead (b) 1988 Lead league
687 John Cerutti - (a) 4.46 ERA in 1990 (b) 4.76 ERA in 1990
692 Efrain Valdez - (a) Born 6/11/66 (b) Born 7/11/66
706 Brad Arnsberg - (a) 68.2 IP in 1990 (b) 62.2 IP in 1990
780 Randy Myers - (a) 15 Career losses (b) 19 Career losses
All of the cards with an A* and B* print designation have either a bold logo or a regular logo.
I believe that these are all generally accepted by the hobby as variations. There are a couple of others that I have heard mentioned but I am not sure what they are: Chris Hoiles, Scott Coolbaugh and Robin Ventura. I have also heard about (I believe) that the C* sheet comes with the red box where the player's name is on the back in either a bold or regular version (the topps logo is not bold). I have compared some of my cards and it does seem that this is similar to the bold logo version for the A and B sheets. Anyone have any thoughts on whether or not this is a printing error or a legitmate variation.
I am going to search EBAY to see if there are any others posted there - I know there are a number of cards with an E*F* sheet designation and I believe that some of them were corrected, but I only have one version of them.
If you have any additional variations to add to this list, please let me know and if possible, post a scan. For the purposes of this exercise, I am not considering wrong back/fronts as variations, but rather printing mistakes.
Thanks.
