This isn't an exact answer to your question but you might want to track this by the Topps Product Code. Most producers have something similar. Originally, I started tracking this to find out if 1991 Topps DS cards had a different Topps Product Code over the normal 1991 Topps (they didn't) but quickly realized I was looking for something different.
Topps Product Codes are printed are both sheets at the time of printing, the wrappers as well as the final boxes.
Here are several links that might be helpful; the first link pertains to Pokemon cards, but discusses the same concept. I am not aware of an up to date Topps list by year and product type....
