1991 AB Variation? Also A, B, C

Sean1125

I just found some A, B, and AB 1991 Topps 40th anniversary, does anyone have any info on these or value? I've found a partial checklist on the errors but it has no values.

I've got 6 including Fisk and Eckersley that are all A*B*, are the ones marked A* or B* or C* worth anything? Scanned them in below.


Thanks

I'm pretty sure the different print designations don't carry any additional value. However, nutty player collectors like me will usually pick up obscure differences like these. I've got several examples from Topps & Donruss with different printings and */** designations.

There is a thread on this subject which I'll bump.

The AB variations usually sell pretty well on Ebay and are extremely rare.

btw, if you feel like looking....

#325 Butler - mine has a D* printing. If you find a variation of that, I'd be interested. Also, I've got one with a Butler front and a #356 Mike Marshall back. The Marshall back has a F* printing. If you happen to find a similar front/back combo with a different printing, I'd most definitely be interested.

and I stand corrected. I knew there had been some serious discussion on the '91s. Thanks for checking in.

Any idea what the Fisk/Eckersley would bring?

$25 each would be reasonable or you might end up with 25 for both. Probably expect that range.

Help me out here - what is the actual variation?

No idea, had an error guy at my house who picked them out he likes to dig through my junkheap.

All Topps cards from the 792 card set era will have a print code on the back of the card showing which 132 card sheet they were cut from - either A, B, C, D, E or F.

1991 Topps has print code errors which show some of the "A" sheet cards as being both *A*B. The *A*B variation is very rare while the correct *A are abundantly common.

Some cards also appear with an *E*F variation but it is not all that rare.

Everything you never wanted to know and more about 1991 Topps appears in the other thread.

You can add me to the nutty list also --- I love finding quirky errors of Gary Carter cards

Holy carp! Nice find.

I am wholly unfamiliar with the errors from '91 and am about to go read the other thread. But if you have any variations on Dale Murphy, Chipper, Tom Glavine, or John Smoltz from this set- I'm your buyer.

Damn! I wonder what would a Chipper Jones RC could get???

Do the Desert Shield cards have the same print run code variations?

No.

And the only variation on Chipper's card is three different sized pink blotches on his cap. Or better yet, a full blotch, a partially airbrushed blotch and a version without any blotch on the cap.
