I'm not much for parallels, but the 1992 Topps set in general is a very important transitional set between the bubblegum card era and the modern era of Topps baseball cards. Although bubblegum was no longer included in packs, the cards were still made using the old style card stock--except with white instead of grey. The following year, Topps would go all glossy front and back. The Gold sets replaced the old Tiffany sets as the Topps elite cards, neither of which I took a part of. Base set have been my thing since day 1.
