Description

1991 Topps is a 792-card set. Notable for being its 40th Anniversary, the 91 Topps set is renowned excellent photography and design. Topps also began to transition away from wax paper wrappers in favor of plastic "poly" packs -- similar to those used in 1991 Stadium Club. An estimated 4-5 million copies of each card were printed.

40th Anniversary Promotion

In 1991 Topps celebrated 40th anniversary in the business of baseball trading cards with a sweepstakes and instant win game where 300,000 old Topps cards were randomly inserted into packs. According to an newspaper interview with Topps spokesman Dennis Liss, buy-back cards with a value of less than $50 were inserted into packs, while cards worth more than $50 and issued before 1957 would be redemptions. Based on data from collectors who opened large quantities of 1991 Topps packs, the buy-backs and redemption coupons were seeded into packs at the "case hit" level. Topps advertised that they spent $1 million on prior-year cards for this promotion.

The contest consisted of:

  • One contest card was seeded in every pack. Collectors could fill out the card with their name and address for a chance to win one of 41 different prizes. The first-place prize was every Topps complete set from 1952 to 1991. The forty second-place prizes was one Topps complete set from a random year.
  • Contest cards, which were seeded at one in every 1000 packs, contained an X were "instant winners" and could be redeemed for a vintage buy-back card.

Parallels

Desert Shield

1991 Topps Desert Shield is a 792-card parallel of the Topps set. Produced as a "thank you" to American troops serving in the Gulf War, this special run was supposed to be sent to the Middle East (in reality, a large amount of the print run never made it past an Air Force base in South Carolina). Cards were distributed in 15-card packs that look and feel like an ordinary 1991 Topps wax pack and each service member was entitled to one pack. All cards have a special "Desert Shield" gold-foil logo stamped in the upper-left corner.

Collectors should be advised that Desert Shield cards are very easy to counterfeit. Unopened Desert Shield wax packs are extremely rare and should only be purchased from a reliable source. Under close inspection, one can spot a fake by the orientation of the palm tree in the foil stamp. The bottom left tip of the tree should point between the E and R in OPERATION. If it doesn't, the stamp/card is most likely fake. In addition, the foil stamp should be crisp. The stamp is fuzzy on some fakes.

Approximately 6313 copies of each Desert Shield card were produced.

Tiffany

1991 was the eighth, and final, year Topps would produce a Tiffany factory set. Like with all previous Tiffany sets, each card was printed on white cardstock and has a glossy coating.

Of all the Tiffany sets, it is believed that the 1991 set is the scarcest.
