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.

I don’t recall which set it was in that had the 10 wrapped non winners but they were much scarcer than the winners. I worked in a card shop my last 2 years of high school and 2 summers during college and I remember people bringing in monster boxes of the sealed winners, I guess they knew the flashlight cheat trick which I didn’t hear about until years later.

I have a couple 1992 vending cases and they contain gold cards as well. It has been a long time I cannot remember if it was a certin number per box or if it was one box of 500. I have alot of 92- 94 gold non winners if anyone is looking to start or finish a set. I also have a 94 box with 4 golds per pack ( I think it is cellos). Amazing how many ways Topps found to issue these " scarce" cards.
