Promos

3-card packs of promo cards were distributed in black plastic sleeves that featured a 1992 copyright line on the back to dealers to preview the set. These cards were almost identical to the regular base cards, but had subtle differences on the back - specifically, the outline of the gray Triple Play logo was fuzzy (instead of crisp/sharp), the red ink is lighter, and the gray ink is darker on the promo cards.
