Parallels
Gold
The first, true, parallel set, 1992 Topps Gold cards were randomly inserted into all 1992 Topps packs types. Each 500-card vending box came with five Gold cards and every factory set had ten. In addition, Topps produced 12,000 1992 Topps Gold factory sets -- presumably as a replacement for the discontinued Tiffany sets. The Topps Gold factory set contained an additional autographed card of Brien Taylor, the first overall pick in the 1991 MLB Draft. The Taylor AU is numbered as an extension of the base set (#793), but it is not considered part of it.
The six checklist cards were replaced with six players who do not appear in the base set.
There were a number of uncorrected errors in the Gold set. Steve Finley (#86) has gold band indicating he is Mark Davidson of the Astros. Andujar Cedeno (#288) is listed as a member of the New York Yankees. Mike Huff (#532) is listed as a member of the Boston Red Sox. Barry Larkin (#465) is listed as a member of the Houston Astros but is correctly listed as a member of the Cincinnati Reds on his Gold Winners cards. (See below)
Gold Winners
Each pack of 1992 Topps baseball card featured a "Match-the-Stats" game cards. For $2.00 and every 100 "Runs" saved in this game, the consumer could receive through a mail-in offer ten Topps Gold cards. Unfortunately, the game was compromised, and in response Topps printed the word "Winner" in gold foil on the card front.
The Gold winner promotion was very popular and the cards are in noticeably larger supply than the basic Gold parallels.

This 804 card parallel set was issued in factory set form only. The set is an exact replica of the regular issue 1992 Topps set (not including the Traded set).The cards, however, measure considerably smaller (1" X 1 3/8") than the regular cards. The set also includes 12 special gold foil parallel mini cards which are listed below.
