I have to pull mine out and scan it.

According to my notes, there are three 1992 sets :

1 - the regular set with 792 cards

2 - a "gold" set with 793 cards, I don't remember what the extra card was, and I believe these cards were inserted in regular packs. But, it may have been possible to buy a gold set, I forget.

3 - a "gold winner" set with 792 cards. In the regular packs there was a scratch off lotto style card. If you scratched the correct spots you would win a free pack of "gold winner" cards. You mailed in the scratch off card and they sent you back a pack of cards, I don't remember how many cards were in that pack, but it was wrapped in clear plastic, with no markings that I remember. If you got a bright enough light, you could see the correct spots to scratch off, particularly if you sat in a dark place, like a closet. I won hundreds of those packs, and put together a complete set.
