This is correct information. It was supposed to only be Gold cards in exchange, but when they realized people could see through the cards, they did the Winner cards.

Am I wrong in this or wasn't it they had the scratch off and you'd get the gold cards, but everyone did the lightbulb trick so they ran or realized the error and they produced the Winners set? I could be wrong, but I thought I heard something like that. I know 92 was the first full year in collecting and got a few of the gold ones, but it was a few years later before I got any Winners cards.

I still have 35 packs of the Gold Winners unopened (could open them if anyone needs some to finish) and maybe a hundred loose cards opened already. Let me know and I'll check your want lists.

Sorry to revive an ancient (by Internet standards) thread, but looking for a L8 "sponsor" assist on updating this set to add ERR/COR and VAR for this set. Some clearly can be added by site guidelines (#465 with either Astros/Reds and upside down Topps Gold logos/COR, sheet code variances on quite a few), several are likely (small/large logo on back of #2, clear high/low variances of the Topps Gold logo placement on back), and others more subjective. I track them all and am nearly through 3 full sets and a few thousand spares documenting them. I can provide the list of missing entries (L8 help needed), upload scans and take care of any individual card edits myself.

Just remember that mis-foiled cards are not listable here.

Nothing silly like that. I don't even track those (but there may be an example or two in my master set box) 🤷🏼‍♀️

Astros vs Reds in the foil and different sheet codes (B* vs F*, on the same card otherwise) should be undebatable though.

Quiet ! Your not supposed to tell anyone. I was a bad boy. That's how I won. Good thing I didn't live in Canada then. They made you do a simple math question.
