Find a schedule during that year and see if they have promotional dates listed on it. Chances are, you can find the date they were given out.
As for TCDB, that just means no one uploaded them to the site. The fact that they are not listed means not much really. Since you have one, you could take scans of the front/back and upload it to them. Then they can start tracking it.
Colorado Springs did a similar thing with an All Time Team Set. It was sponsored by KRDO and Bills Sports Collectables then given out as a promotional give away in the 97 season. Someone obviously got one and uploaded it to the site.

Yes, my next step was going to be calling the company on back of the card and start asking questions. If I understand correctly, TCDB will not introduce a new set to their database unless the entire checklist of the set is known and submitted. I guess I can understand that protocol but I'm not sure I agree with it. Some sets are scarce due to print runs, the entire checklist may not be known. Starting the checklist would allow collectors to fill in the gaps in my opinion.
