If anyone is wanting to comlete a set of the '91 Topps glow backs, let me know and we can work something out. I have both opened and unopened boxes of these. I'm assuming each card in the set has a glow back???

Do not assume anything. I opened a factory set and had both glow and non-glow backs. You can only know for sure if they are glow back or not with the use of a black light. Trading as glow backs when not verified will undoubtedly p*** o** a few members when they receive the wrong cards.

I did just that...looked at the back of every card with a black light. When I opened the packs about one third of each pack had a glow back.

Yes, they are not rare by any means. When I went through my 5000 plus cards and my six sets, I was able to put together a glow back set. There were only 3 cards that I had to dig into my sets to find a glow back (or a non-glow back for one of them). My split was about 50-50. Some had more glow backs and others were the opposite. Anyone who has a lot of these can probably complete a set almost on their own.

Say, Thank You Bruno ! I finally got my answer. FACTORY SETS have both glowback and no glowback cards. WooHoo!
I'm also going to guess, both bold ant not bold?
Thus to complete the 4 possible sets, You would have to break a FACTORY SET?

NO.
Bruno is simply stating that the Factory sets had both.
He also said that he had the cards from packs to make all "4" sets:.

Oh yeah, I have boxes of packs. I meant the true collector would have mixed cards by keeping a Factory Set together. Break it and mix with the boxed cards to try and make 4 sets. Misunderstanding only.

Just to clarify: The breaking of a Factory Set is not required to make the 4 sets. They can be made entirely from packs.

Will the "glow back" variations be added to the checklist? I( can provide visual proof of the variations of a couple of cards.

The decison made was No because the actual differencce from glowback to non-glowback was not discernable to the naked eye so, uploaded images would not show.
What I did for my PC was using Detailed Add, I made note of it in the comments field.
