1992 Topps Baseball Forum

I just acquired some 1992 Topps and all of the cards have the name of player and team at the bottom in team colors. One of the cards I got was a duplicate #783 Joe Magrane. One card looks like the rest of the set with team colors, but one the the #783's is in solid gold at the bottom. Can anyone help and let me know if you've encountered a card like this in the 1992 Topps set? Thanks

Called a Gold card - check out the parallels to the set.

A parallel version of the set called Topps Gold.  The logo "Topps" on the reverse in the background should also be yellow.

Thanks for the help guys. That was easy enough.

Also check if the word "Winner" appears or not. There were two different Gold sets produced after people were cheating with the game cards.

No, the Gold series was only found in packs, the Gold Winner was the redemption. I prefer to think of it like a spit ball, it's only cheating if you get caught! Seriously, there was zero downside to shining a flashlight under the card. Later the scratch offs were printed on thicker stock so no light went through.

Topps produced Gold factory sets as well. It was where #793, the Brien Taylor AU card, was released.
