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.
