Still too early on this Monday for math.....

When night comes creeping in,
Dark restless shades arise.
Prepare to crawl and run.
The Black is here tonight. |

It depends when in the print run your cards were produced or what factory they came from. This wasn't a planned insert, it just happened during the manufacturing process. Poor quality control when the presses were running 24/7 in the early 90s created a variation. I think the dark backs are slightly harder to find, but nothing from 1991 Topps is rare.

They can't be that rare. When I say 10 boxes Im taking about card boxes that hold 1000 cards and I'm seeing them all the time.
Are these glow backs the tiffany set? There is no listing for them or is it because they used some odd ball card stock to just keep printing like a madman.

The glow backs are not the Tiffany cards. They are the regular Topps cards that were printed with a different ink that happens to glow brightly under UV light.

Oh, ok I'll have to get a black light and see if I've got any. Just to see one. Sounds like they were mixing inks to use up old ink and stretch out the colors.

When I look at my 91s in a pitch black room, I can’t see them at all. Is that a variation?
Wait...the same thing happens with my 92s! I’m gonna be rich!

So today I went out and got me a black light just to see what this phenomena was like. Home again and pulled a random area of my 1991 Topps, happened to be #263-269. THESE ARE NOT RARE!!! In the 7 batches of cards I pulled, (all with 6 or more cards) there are only 2 that have fewer Glow Backs than regular cards. I beleive if I want, I can easily put together a set of just glow backs. Question is, should I? Is it worth the trouble?
If people are seeing high prices for these "special" cards put me in touch with those buying. I am sure I can provide in exchange for some cards I need.
