This fits what I just found. I have around 1000 1990 Fleer cards, and only 48 have the "U.S.A" on the back, which equates to three packs and change. I highly suspect most of the cards were from repacks, as they were somewhat brighter than most of the cards I opened back in 1990, which have aged a bit.
I haven't seen any 1990's, but for all the other years, it looks like they used a different card stock for the U.S.A. vs U.S.A - same thing every year, one is substantially more vibrant and "white" than the other - every version of each matches up perfectly. It would make sense. Most likely different printing locations.
