Its always been my opinion that its only a different item if I couldnt make it myself. If I can cut it or erase it to get the same effect, its not a different item. You can erase the ink off of any early Upper Deck card and call it a blank back. You cannot do that with a Topps card. The material is different so a blank back Topps card is a variation but a 1990 UD is not (again, my opinion). The magazine and box cards are not different although its cool to have both pics listed. Most of those type cards were not issued anyway but uncut and someone then cut them. The proof cards are different as you cannot add paper to get it like that and the sheets were not distributed to us common folks. As I said b4, I ran across uncut Mothers cookies from 91 & 92. I would like the pic added for all to see (when I get around to scanning it), but under the same listing as the cut version as they are the same card. Just my thoughts and nobody has to agree as it doesnt really matter if a few get left off or a few get added that shouldnt.
