1992 Topps Gold 10 ct Packs
Any idea where the 10-count cello wrapped packs of 1992 Topps Gold were issued? These are not abundant but there are several examples available online for sale. I just can't figure out how they were distributed.
Im not sure about factory sets as I have opened a few over the years (the blue box) and the ten golds were not sealed, just together among the base cards. There are several opened factory set examples on ebay that do not show a cello pack inside. [IMG][/IMG]

That's what they sent when you redeemed a winner card or sent in wrappers I can't remember for sure if it was one or both. I have a few of them that I received that are still sealed.

Yes, that is the case for the Gold Winners packs. I'm trying to figure out how the non-winner Gold packs were issued.

It was a long time ago but I'm pretty sure if you weren't collecting a winner on the match the stats game and sent in money to get the gold cards (which I did) the pack you received didn't say winner on the gold cards. I know I have some 10 pack gold cards that are unopened when I get a chance I will try and find them. My album was handy so I did check that and I have 40 non winner golds in it. I don't remember the odds but I'm pretty sure I didn't pull 40 non winner golds opening wax packs back then. |

This seems to be the consensus: that initially Topps mailed out regular (non winner) gold packs to people who mailed in winning Match The Stats cards. But because of the rampant cheating (flashlight under the card to reveal the right areas) Topps switched over to sending out 'Winner' stamped cards. Quote:

I only remember the non winners being 1 per box and the factory set with the autographed Brien Taylor card. The winners were the send away cards. The winners cards never went for much but that factory set with the autograph was quite pricey for the time 150-250 a set. One of the factory sets did have the 10 pack of gold non winners in the cello pack inserted into the factory set.

If you look down at the bottom of the game card it has the mail in instructions here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/15604579246...mis&media=COPY |

In the match the stats game card, if you failed to win the game (which was very difficult if you didn't know how to cheat with a flashlight), you scratch off the bottom square and revealed either 1, 2 or 3 runs. If you collected 100 runs and mailed the game cards in to Topps with a small fee for S&H, they sent you a cello pack of gold cards without "winner" on them. I did this only once before Topps ended redemptions I think. I never figured out how to cheat with a flashlight in the pre-internet days.
