1991 Topps Desert Storm Glossy Non-Sport Forum

Starting a new topic since bumping the older one didn't get any response:
 

1. On our checklist, checklist card #88 has the "A" stickers on the back, which means it's from the 6th printing red/white/blue box. What did #88 look like in the 5th printing blue box, where the stickers were the same as the regular set and didn't have an "A" prefix? Do we need to add a VAR to distinguish the two CLs?

2. The Australia Glossy version apparently has a different off-white matte back and thinner cardstock when compared to the U.S. one. Is there enough of a visible difference to split it off to a separate set, or should we leave them combined as one set? The stickers are the same as the U.S. version.
