Question regarding 1991 Heisman card set linen autographs

Does anyone have any information regarding the linen autographed cards that were inserted roughly 2 per case? Is there a way to distinguish the difference between insert cards and a normal signed base card?

Here is the reason I post this question. Currently on ebay there is a Les Horvath "Linen" card with a buy it now price of $1500 with 4 offers. I have a signed Les Horvath card from this set which cost me roughly $75 when I bought it. Comparing the two I can't see any difference between the two cards. I highly doubt I have the linen card but I'd really love to know what the difference is between these cards. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Reese

    What he said.

    You'd know if you had the linen version.

    Alright that makes sense. The autographs on the two cards currently listed as linen on ebay look very clean and not like there is a texture difference. I guess I just need to get my hands on one! Thanks for the help guys!

  • The linen cards are like the Topps silks.
