Any new info about 1986 Topps mini "TIFFANY" cards?

[BBCgalaxee]

A while back, junkwaxgems site mentioned these cards which have a glossy Tiffany like front and opc like stock on back.

Just found a bunch and was wondering if there's any new info?

The pics I've taken look just like the regular cards. Can really only tell in person.

Are you referring to the 1986 Topps mini League Leaders 66 card set?

Yes

1986 Topps Mini Leaders Tiffany set? Parallel, Test Issue or Variation?

A little while ago, I stumbled across an unusual batch of 1986 Topps Mini Leaders. Unlike the common type, these had an almost brownish tint to the card fronts, so naturally they jumped out at me. …

I remember getting these as packs when I was a child I would tell you I probably still own the big name players though they are in a storage unit in Virginia Beach and I am no where near their at the moment

These came in packs & also 500 count vending box. Maybe the variation could be due to pack or vending.

Anyone have a Mattingly that they would be willing to sell?

Here's the two Mattingly's I have.

It's so hard to tell from the photos but as long as you're familiar with Tiffany cards, you'll see the difference in person.

First one is the regular issue. You can see the paper texture.

Last one is the Tiffany and you DON'T see the paper texture, only the Tiffany gloss.

The Tiffany versions I've found so far were in a box filled with thousands of junk wax era cards I got long ago so it looks like they came from packs.

Yes, I am. You have the mysterious "Tiffany" finish?

 

[Shaggy]

I have these to, not sure if they are Tiffany(never knew they had a Tiffany set). Need to know check to see what I got, if I can find it in my pile of cards.

I’m going to look. I know I tossed some because they were bricked bad but I know lots of the better players I liked I put to the side individually. I don’t know if I’m crazy but yes some did have a glossier finish than others. I’m going to have to recheck that. I did have an Ozzie as well but he might take me longer to track down since I wasn’t too into him as a kid. He’s somewhere. I’ll post once I find something.

Only one I found so far unfortunately. Not any gloss. I hope I didn’t toss them all!

Here we go . I can’t really tell if they are glossy or not. In light they look like but need to do more research when I get time plus I got to see what is salvageable from the bricks.

I looked at these before and never was sure what I had.

The guy from the article said there was a way to tell from the backs. The whiteness. Very difficult to tell so far but maybe if I look at them long enough
