Last night, unable to fall asleep at a normal time, I decided to pour over all 80 pages of 1991 Upper Deck baseball on COMC in search of hologram variations (mainly looking at stars, rcs and semistars), some players had over 300 copies for sale (Edgar Martinez??) on the site, so flipping over each page became quite a task.
Some very unscientific data I've compiled from this experiment:
Found just 16 hologram variations out of 80 pages of stuff (950 total items), ignoring most "commons" but checking out players like Sabo, Greenwell and Gant.
2 of the 16 were different Chipper RCs, which I purchased immediately!
2 of the 16 were two different Deion Sanders cards, which I purchased not-so-immediately.
1 of the 16 was Randy Johnson: purchased.
1 of the 16 was the Bagwell/Rookie Threats card: purchased.
1 of the 16 was Curt Schilling: purchased.
This info comes as little surprise to me, really, as I've have bought several 3200 and 5000 count boxes that haven't yielded any of the hologram variations! Similar with wax boxes, I've only found 1 low series and 1 high series box that contained a sequence of hologram variations. Factory sets have been a good source, usually you'll find an 100ct brick in sequence (400-499 for example) with an odd hologram type.
Here is the initial blog entry from a couple years ago detailing the differences:

Here is the follow-up blog, noting a 5th hologram type:

Since there are so many player collectors on this board who have guys in this set, I thought it would interesting to compile a running list of confirmed subjects and which hologram types affect them.
If you have any of these variations, I encourage you to post what you own, a scan is useful but not necessary. And please post any solid info you have such as where they were pulled (high or low wax, factory, etc). I will continue to update the list below as new info is posted.
